Arifureta Chapter 142 (2/2)
“… damn it Recently I have never looked at mirror clearly so… what a shock…”
Haji down Actually, he didn’t really look at the e fro The black history sealed at the botto?” peeked out its face By the way, things like his bed hair or the like were handled by Yue every time It seemed that she liked to tamper with Hajime
“Indeed, this is just like what the whispering voice was saying, perhaps there is no place to belong for me in japan…”
Surely what the whispering voice wanted to say wasn’t so (EN: The voice was saying he could never return to japan because his strength and ic made him barely human, while he personally is bothered more by the fact he looks chuunibyou)
As though to express that, suddenly, a voice that he was already familiar with resounded
{That’s not what it means you know?}
“… As expected it comes out, huh”
Hajime’s eyes quietly squinted, and he raised his head froure of hi down
Correct, regardless of Hajime’s ‘orz’ posture, the Haji
{Hou, as expected, you are not agitated, eh? I am just as expected?}
“Yeah, of course, isn’t it? I have reat labyrinth On top of that, if I take Aht that sooner or later this kind of situation will come up”
Looking at Hajih the one inside theto him, the Hajime inside the mirror made a wide smirk
{By the hat’s this concept?}
“You are ”
{No no, certainly I aht?}
Hajime nodded “Indeed” In his assu similar like to the fake created in Haltina’s Great Labyrinth, so he thought that this was so to make this look-alike, and it seemed that this assumption was correct
What the fake was saying by ‘not entirely’ was that until the end, the Hajireat labyrinth Then it was understandable that it was trying to verify his answer
“… The concept of this labyrinth is ‘to win against yourself’ right? The negative part of oneself, the dirty part that you averted your eyes from, the inconvenient part, contradiction… can you overco or not? Most likely, this is a trial so on’t be taken advantage of by God, I guess”
{As expected of ht, it’s exactly as you said}
The Hajiesture In regard to that, Haji face’ It was a co for him
But that irritating face changed at the saan to ean to be dyed with black that was blacker than even black The white hair returned to his original black color, the skin that was tanned under the sun becaing into a jet black tone Its whole body was really pitch black
Hajiilance to create some distance, and it was at that moment…
DOPAN-!
DOPAN-!
Without showing the handintent With an extremely natural motion, shots were fired
At the saer of a completely black Donner, a bullet really flew out froun emitted a muddy black spark What intercepted it was a vivid red flash
Hajile step back while he was co a merciless attack The bullet fired with an extre black flash like soround
It was so for an actual attack to come out from inside thewas how both of the intent
{Haha, as expected you get it What’s the ti, how do I think, what kind of technique would you use to slaughter the enemy…”
The black Haji widely Heice pillar And then he drew out Schlag with left artificial ar with Donner at the right hand That was exactly the stance of Hajiun-kata
Hajime silently took the same stance The white-haired Haji intent in the same stance like mirror reflections That immense pressure was really equal It seemed that Haji was reproduced
If it was norht rinned while announcing the signal of the trial’s start
{Now, Naguainst me?}
Right after that, there was a subli
That was si in as well as the sound of a simultaneous bombardment from the crossbits they took out at the sa kick they each launched while pretending to shoot
Hajime’s body, which was al the spike transunmetal… when he looked, the black Hajime also aiun muzzles locked each other without even a millimeter of disorder
“Die”
{Die}
Without hesitation, both of the the other to die Violent sound roared, each Donner repelled each other with fierce s that had been prepared through their armpit spouted fire
The red flash that was launched froht at the ainst each other and generated shockwave Before the two crushed bullets fell on the ground, the two Hajime used that shockwave and rotated their body to launch an upper kick along with strong wind
GAN-! A shockwave sound that was like a joke that couldn’t be thought of co froed the angle and deftly changed into a middle kick
Once again, the shockwave of clashi+ng metal resounded At that moment, Hajiger was pulled The black Hajier was pulled and at the sa aimed at Hajime’s head and fired
And as expected, Haji to ward off the opponent’s hand Without paying any razed his head, Hajime pulled back Donner that fired first and then fired consecutively at the black Hajime to arrest his movement, but that too was averted by the black Hajime’s elbow strike
While dodging the firing line of the opponent with the paper thin difference in close range, they tried to take the instant opening Black and red flashes couldn’t catch the opponent and passed through eh the crossbit was neutralized by the black crossbit and resulted in nothing
{How strong Really strong It’s really not a strength that a huht, me?}
“Aaa?”
Fro, ‘Wind Claw’ stretched out and shallowly cut the cheek of each other Frorinning face of the black Hajime peeked out
{Monstrous power, hands dirtied in blood, heart that doesn’t hesitate in killing… what areto think to look at the current you?}
“… What do you want to say?”
Reloading while perforun spin, Hajime tried to break the foothold with ‘Transmutation’ until the time to fire the next shot At the saround, black spark ran and blocked the ‘Trans
{I want to go back ho that there is a place for you to belong there?}
“…”
{In that world, especially in the country called japan, killing people is not tolerated yeah? To say nothing of monster, just who can accept someone like that? Tou-san and Kaa-san? Just when they think that their son asho monster Ku-ku-ku-, surely they will be shocked ‘Is this really our son?’ They are going to think like that}
Hajie anited the Clad’ and scattered it on the ground Against the suicide attack, the black Hajirinned and invoked the same ‘Vajra’ like Hajime
Right after that, a tremendous explosion occurred between the two froe From inside the explosion flame BOBA-! Hajime and black Hajime flew out with such a sound At the same time, both of theh the trajectory of the bullet was straight, the rocket bullet that had no relation with precise aiun bullet, trailed sparks behind theet even while half their nu each other
Those surviving rockets were sniped by the railgun from both sides
{Actually you are scared, right? The place for you to go hoo! That you will be absolutely rejected, in your original world, in your own faht!?}
“Just keep talking”
Like a stage actor, the black Hajime talked vehe Donner and Orkan The real Hajime scowled and threw out a chakram
{That’s why you couldn’t ignore the words of Hataya home and put discord in your heart You look up at Hatayaave you an answer, even if it’s a trivial one for the doubt sht!?}
“…”
The black Hajime similarly took out a chakram, and both artifacts clashed in midair, they neutralized each other really simply Furthermore, just like Hajime, the black Hajiainst the space-leap bullet fro in the air
Continuing after that with a co fun of Hajime
“But, even if you are not living in ‘a lonely way’, it doesn’t change the fact that you are a blood-soaked monster Both that world and your family won’t accept you! That time when your first killed a hu Even if you didn’t feel guilt, you felt fear You just didn’t realize that your feeling was paralyzed, fro disconnected froumo Hajime your parents know’!”
Hajihtly late The black flash flying out froht shoulder It was a s But since the battle started, this was the first tiot wounded
Looking at that, the black Haji, he continued to pull the trigger of words for follow up
{It’s great that there is Yue ehhh,that even if you rejected anything else you can just cling at her huh?}
The wound on Haji little by little That was the effect of the artifact Hajiic set in it It interen It didn’t have that eneration was attached into ore The object that could be eneration of the flesh was nothing more than a secondary effect
But the black Hajieneration With fierce momentum, black Hajime stepped in close at Hajieneration enerate the flesh
Once ain super close range
{But, that is merely dependence The majority of what you mistakenly think as love is just a sense of security That’s only insurance when you get rejected Recently, your insurance is increasing eh!?}
The wish to return home, the love to Yue――the black Haji that built the core of Haji triu of Hajime and throw it into a sea of malice
But, those words becarazed the cheek Yes, that wound was inflicted only to the black Haji that tih the distance and the elbow of the artificial arm of Hajime struck
{Gofuh!?}
I bullet was fired frorandly bloith scattered shockwave
It was just like an elbow strike of Chinese kenpo, Hajime as in continued alertness in that pose returned his stance and tapped Donner on his shoulder with a vein throbbing on his head
“Although it can’t be helped because this is a trial, but you talk too ot the time to have a tedious talk, you better use it to think of a killing method even for just one more moment You really are unlike me”
I that ‘after all you are just a fake’, he was looking with a cold gaze
Ahead of his gaze, was the figure of the black Haji on his stomach with a bewildered expression even while he was already standing up He could block it to a certain degree with ‘Vajra’, but even so, he was hit with bursting slug bullet from zero distance As expected he couldn’t escape from it unharmed
{I thought you got shaken but… My words are your heart You should understand that I’ randomly here}
“I guess Really those ords thatdeep insidea note where I wrote out et read loudly”
Haji around ave that e mentally
{Then, why… }
“That’s obvious I a like thatme”
{You are aware?}
“Yeah, that’s right Indeed, even while I’ from the bottoree That sensei’s words became one of my salvation is correct, yet about those words aren’t so that softened my fear is also true And then, even when in the end it doesn’t go like I want it, I have Yue… true, it’s correct that I’ like that”
{Then, why aren’t you shaken? Huliness and dirty part If those parts are exposed ed their ears, crouched down and stay un there, even so, if they are made to face it forcefully they will break, that’s the kind of organism they are}
Hajime listened to the words of the black Haji the black Hajied his shoulder
“The part where you’re ‘not entirely’is too serious as me you know?”
{… }
“Well, listen up Why a of that kind of thing is less, isn’t that obvious?”
{Meaningless?}
“Certainly, there is the possibility I’ll get rejected, that is so in the future, right? There won’t be any answer even if I think about it right now It’s pointless just thinking about it Then, I can only keep holding that fear and try to clash against it You see, I already decided to go home No matter what kind of circumstance anyone has, even if I o hoh That’s all”
Calm eyes like a peaceful water surface Haji, yet he still declared that he would persist in his oill Even though he was not using ‘Coercion’ or ‘Magic Power E a pressure that was far more severe, the black Hajime unconsciously took a step back
{… Isn’t that just being defiant?}
“Haha, certainly you can say it like that Yeah, but, I’ll have you correct one thing”
Whileoverpowered, the black Hajie Hajiht after that, Hajime made a sullen face and demanded a correction ofblack Haji his head, Hajily complained
“It’s not the majority At best it’s only 01 percent”
{What?}
“My feeling toward Yue that she is my insurance is just 01 percent from the whole The rest 999 percent is love”
It was also correct that deep in Haji of Yue like that But, Haji of his He wouldn’t avert his eyes fros Rather, he had the confidence that he could say to Yue right fro that was relatively pathetic like, ‘I’ rejected in my homeland, so comfort me with Yue’s presence’
That was because he understood that his existence wasn’t perfect, therefore he would rely on his beloved partner for the part he was lacking at or his ugly part In certain ht about an i spoiled like that fro fondly of a loved one
The black Hajime that was hit with such sweet eether with Hajime words was…
{… At the very least say that it’s ten percent}
Even though the black Haji an exasperated face Surely that was the reaction of the part that was not Hajireat labyrinth Truly what an impolite fellow, to mistakenly read the love of Hajime toward Yue like this
Hajinored that black Hajime and stepped in all of a sudden Their respective Donner and Schlag rushed about in super close range at all directions
As always it was an offense and defense that rivaled each other like ato crumble The red flash Hajime fired, his kick, crossbit, chakraan to catch the black Hajime
{Guh, what’s going on… even though there is no sign I’ weakened-}
“Hm? Weakened?”
{-, this is a trial to surpass oneself The ative ee will be weakening Conversely, the er I become}
“Hah, so there is that kind of rule”
Finally, Hajiround and rolled far ahile rotating all over Giving it a glance, Hajied the flank of the black Hajime
Unable to endure that, the black Haji back
{But, you are not conquering your negative eetting defiant The proof of that is how I’h I am you-!}
“More accurately, you are just ht?”
{What are you-, -, talking about-!}
Even ht arun in the artificial arun into the elbow joint while they passed each other, destroying it
The two Hajime took distance and faced each other once more However, the black one was already full of wound all over his body His gaze was filled with doubt
“You don’t get it? A false ie of you is made from the information that was read from me That is likely the information from when I entered the labyrinth until I arrived in front of the ice pillar in this roo ht now, in this battle, I just need to be stronger than o That’s all”
{I like that}
“If you aremeans of survival in the er, just a fraction of a second faster, just a singlehalf a step further, if I can surpass the opponent just by that etting the better of ht?”
The black Hajiot taken aback for a while relaxed his shoulders after a second And then hethe crossbits at his surrounding and took the stance of bare-handed fighting
{Certainly, that’s true… good grief, so there is a guy that’ll breakthrough this trial not by ‘overcoitated, then there will be a chance of victory for me still}
“Don’t say soot any chance of victory A false i to s face”
{That’s masochism you know?}
I of the battle, a thunderous roar rang out But, the result was strikingly apparent
The lower body of the black Haji like heat haze, vanishi+ng away There was no more word, however, that expression looked satisfied somehow
Hajime who breathed out deeply dispelled his continued alertness… for now he gave the final blow off three bullets at the head of the vanishi+ng black Hajiht for sure this time and vanished At the end, ‘Read the mood, you da like that, but that was surely just his iination, no doubt of that
Hajime stored Donner in his holster, at the same tie appeared
“Yue and others are… well, they must be fine”
Along with that e
By the hether Kouki and company were included in that ‘they uessed
