Chapter 8 (2/2)
And then, Luru noticed her words
He hadn’t paid any attention, but it was a reality that he was a huo the demon race and human race had been enemies who killed each other
It was a reality that to Iris, Luru looked like nothing but an enemy
His seven years of peace living as a huet his wariness fro
Iris slowly, but at a speed that was invisible from human standards, moved her arm towards Luru
It see a chant
Gathered mana compressed in an instant in Iris’ hand, and she fired it at Luru
Luru felt shock at her ability to manipulate mana so quickly
The Iris that Luru had known didn’t possess this much power
She was nothing rowth phase, but she was at an age where her ecraft would only develop later on
Despite this, just noas at the level of a soldier
Luru didn’t know just how much time had passed after he had died
However, he could tell froh so
The red orb of ia Globus}, that Iris had fired off approached Luru’s abdo speed
‘If it hits him, he’ll have no choice but to be prepared for death‘
It was h power and speed to make any onlookers believe so
However, the one who stood there was the reborn De, Luruslia Nord
Regardless of the heights it ardless of the fact that she was an ancient de as it hadn’t escaped the level of an ordinary soldier, it was impossible to breach his defences
The Magia Globus that had likely been Iris’ surprise attack was softly caught by Luru’s palh it was his own mana, he moulded it into four parts
And then, he began treating it al
While freelythe four spheres of ichis ti
As the de, he had visited children who had lost their parents to the war and played with them
Playing included pointless activities, as well astheir combat skills
There were a nuames that helped children master their control of mana
There was the ga where one would scatter their mana, and you had to find them
There was the gaia Globus at each other like a sobll fight
There was also turning yourto see who could do it manipulate it more freely
All of these were ga the lives of these children in battle,
Luru perforames had made Iris stare at him, eyes wide
There was no reason huame, and even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to learn it like nothing
It was not only that, either
Just now, the nuia Globus} that Luru had on hand, numbered in the dozens
The original four had gradually been split up, and the nuradually increased
Now, not only were the numbers beyond normal, but so was the speed at which they flew around as well, each of them more beautifully and carefully controlled than she had ever seen before
Even a that couldn’t be done except by those with considerable ability, and furtheria Globus, Iris knew of only one person who could do as such
“…Ojisama?”
The feeble voice that she wrang from her throat was filled with co unsuited for his current age, Luru flashed the cynical see, and said,
“…Iris Uncle’s here”
It was the line that he had said the most to her, when he visited his friends house
It see her eyes with an expression filled with shock, a strea towards him
The approaching Iris was small and slender
She lightly ju her face in it, she shouted with all she had,
“Ojisama-… Ojisama!”
Luru began to quietly pat Iris, who said nothing but that as she bawled
After that, he glanced to the side at Gran
The arreatly dented, but he was alive, and neither were there any great injuries
Since he seemed to have just fainted, Luru was relieved
But really, Gran was also quite an unlucky man
There was already no room left for doubt about the fact that Gran was a first rate adventurer
Even if that technique was quite high level, and it was his first ti it, normally it would have been i
That’s why it wasn’t as though Gran couldn’t see through Iris’ Magia Globus
This ti that could be said except that it was a bad choice of opponent
Gran had probably responded to Iris’ ia Globus
Hehis arh to handle it
Like that, he’d be able to change positions easily, and on top of that he could dull the opponent’s morale; fact, it was because he was a veteran adventurer that he was able to consider these things and take action the way he did
However, the skill that was indispensible to the ancient demon race was lethal to Gran
Being able to see the circulation of the opponents ic that would decoed demon soldier possessed
However, that kind of technique had been lost to the ages, and Gran who lived in the modern era couldn’t deal with it
The simplest method for him would have been to simply avoid it, but if he didn’t know about the technique, then there was no reason he would take such an action
In other ways, it was because of all this that things ended the way they did
It really was pitiful
And then whilst thinking about all this, Luru was at his wits’ end about what to do about all this
Iris was one of the issues, and what he would say to Gran was another
Once he got back to the village, he had to say so to Yuumis as well
His objectives of saving his friends and investigating the purpose of this ruin was iven birth to were too many
Having said that though…
He looked at the crying girl at his chest
When he did, she looked back up at him
It was an awful looking face
The face that really should have looked like a doll’s was now soaked with mucus and tears
“Pfft…”
Because it was just too h
Seeing this, Iris pouted her cheeks a little
“H-, how cruel… I have been living all this tih at me like that! Honestly…!”
“…But you really should look in a mirror You look terrible, you know”
Being told that, Iris tilted her head a little and asked,
“Is it truly that bad…? …Speaking of which, the way you speak has changed slightly, has it not? …And if I look carefully, your face too… What is going on? Mmm? Which reminds me, you should have perished in the battle with the hero but… And what time is it now? Where is this place?”
Once she began questioning one thing, a whole load of questions began to surface
Luru as well couldn’t so quickly organise and answer these questions, so without any other choice he said,
“I’ll explain it later… A lot happened”
“A lot… you say?”
“Yeah, a lot”
“I see… Ah-, speaking of which, is the person that I sent flying earlier all right? They are one of your acquaintances, are they not? Umm, I believed them an enemy, and…”
Iris who nodded to Luru’s words started to become flustered
Normally Iris wasn’t the type to hold hatred towards humans
It see because she had just woken up, and e for Luru as well
However, Luru was alive, and now that she was fully conscious, she had calmed down
Luru sain
“You know, even if you say that now… Well, that ise later He’ll probably forgive you”
“Are they a enerous as Ojisama even in the human race, I see!”
“No, I’nanimous, but… Gran doesn’t fuss about the details, so I think it o well if rite it off as an unfortunate accident”
“T-, then let us do as such…”
Their triling conversation was nostalgic, and Luru felt for the first ti time, fulfilled
Once Gran woke up, first they’d start off with an explanation
After that, they’d return to the village and explain to Yuumis as well
After that, and after that…
Whilst iht future with an optiinable thus far, Luru continued to chat with Iris
Iris uses ‘watakushi+’ If you don’t knohat that is, don’t worry Also she speaks very politely It doesn’t floell in English becausehave fewer ‘levels’ of polite speech, but whatever It’s a fantasy; get on board with it
As you probably know, a great e by corresponding familial relationshi+p In japan they are ‘older brother’, ‘older sister’, ‘aunt’, ‘uncle’, ‘grandrandfather’
Here, Ojisama literally means ‘esteemed uncle’, but he is not actually her relative, but rather a close older e appropriate of an uncle
Strictly speaking, 弾 can also mean ‘ball’, ‘bead’, ‘orb’, etc but I prefer the translations of ‘___弾’ as ‘___ bullet’ when its a projectile weapon/skill Froh, you can tell that it also means ‘ball’
