Vol 25 Chapter 5 (1/2)
Persons
Mifi Rotten
She boldly stepped into the outer area
It was an action that was kind like a ritual for her when she came to a new city
”Ah, hot off the roa over her Her hair, which had grown because she was too lazy to cut it, was still tied in twin tails like before
Now that the cities didn'tbuses that had once chased after the autono over the land had become scheduled transportation that went between cities
Even so, they still hadn't abandoned their na buses' It was because everyone was used to that nae in ten or twenty years If soh naht away
Mifi knew that it was common sense
They had moved from an era where the cities moved around to one where the cities didn't h such a period of ti here, even though it's nearby”
The people getting off the bus jostled Mifi as she looked around the scenery of the road
This was the city where the strongest Military Artists gathered, a city that had continuously fought with filth ht with a certain being that fell from the sky and had becoined that this place would have a pointed at intent
But that at fro this road, she already noticed that she would have to fix her inflexible impression
Houses, restaurants, and billboards for consumer stores densely lined the road to the city
It had beco away from the city center in cities other fro, but Grendan's style of expansion was unique and of a level that couldn't be seen anywhere else
This place was rapidly responding to the changing tiined this place with the atmosphere of a stubborn, traditional old man that she was surprised at this kind of adaptability
But upon thinking carefully, e
”Well, after all, it's Layfon's and Clara's hoe when she considered those two
She had probably prepared her mind too ather information, but”
Mifi held up the tourist ht
Though she had rushed here after hearing the rumors, what should she do to confirm the truth?
”I can't just run on in”
Mifi spoke as she continued walking
She had already folded up the touristher walk, she noticed map terminals for travelers to use, so she took a more detailed look there and found her destination
Actually, Mifi already had sos are, so here I am”
”Oh”
Mifi had suddenly showed up with a smile, but the other person reacted a bit dully
”Uh, Mi-chan?”
”Yes yes, it's been a while”
Mifi had coe, and in front of her was Leerin
”It's been a while”
”Did you forget about me?”
Leerin's stiff reaction made Mifi feel a bit anxious
”You're Mifi fro this, Leerin's stiffness finally let up a bit
”But I was only there for a short year, and--”
”Yeah, it's already been a long ti what Leerin wanted to say
In other words, Leerin wanted to say that it had already been too long
It had already been three years since Mifi graduated from Zuellni And when you added her ti ti it if Leerin didn't remember Mifi's face
After all, Leerin looked a bit different froirl who gave off a so atmosphere, but now she felt much more depth from that calm attitude
”Sorry, sorry”
Mifi s to ask of you”
”Huh?”
”Actually”
Mifi prepared to say her request right away, but right then
”Leerin-san!”
A somewhat-unreliable voice approached them
”What is it, Myunfa-sensei?”
A bespectacled woman who looked soe was probably about the saave off an unreliable atmosphere, her movements were very precise Maybe she was a Military Artist - Mifi thought
”Um Shefa”
”What about Shefa?”
”He said he wanted to fight with Shasheila Um, in the Luckens dojo”
”What?”
Leerin frowned at Myunfa's words
”How did things end up that way?”
”Uh, I don't understand the situation either”
Mifi looked at the teary-eyed Myunfa and the flustered Leerin as she thought 'no, she can't be a Military Artist, right', continuing to observe the glasses-wearing wo up her topic if this went on
”Uh, who are Shefa and Shasheila? Also, is Luckens the same as Gorneo-senpai's faave her a surprised look
”Hht
It looked like some troublesome problem had happened, but Mifi obviously wouldn't back down so easily
”Ah, nice to ave her business card after saying this
”Ah, okay”
Myunfa, asn't used to things like business cards, looked at the naazine written on the card with a clearly confused appearance and tilted her head
”What's 'World Tiazine that I'm an editor for”
”Huh? OOkay”
”It's alright, our azine will be published here soon”
Mifi s to be the first large-scale inforoal was iht before her
Mifi secretly decided to persist until the very end
Gorneo Luckens
He had rarely felt relaxed through his entire life
The seed of his headaches was always near him and never disappeared Once he resolved one, another would show up, often co with one or two erminate and proliferate even if he didn't plant and water it
What a botherso
”What is it?”
The noise fro training had ended and it was now break ti[1] Master”
There were several Military Artists staying behind in the vast dojo to carry out individual training They also looked through the s at the couely kneas happening just by hearing those words
Shrill childish voices he had grown accustomed to overlapped and reached his ears from the courtyard
”Shefa came?”
”Seems so”
Gorneo pressed on his tehter, Shasheila, got along very poorly with her childhood friend Shefa
They got along so poorly that people wondered why they were still called childhood friends
And they would fight all the tie five”
Gorneo groaned quietly as he moved to the courtyard
Even Military Artist children should be able to se five Even Military Artist children were very lie five
But unfortunately, these teren't ordinary children
Gorneo complained as he ran to the courtyard
”We'll decide victory today for sure!”
”Decide victory!”
What did they h he couldn't help but think that, co a five-year-old child did wouldn't help with anything
”Cut it out!”
Gorneo shouted as loud as he could, and the Kei-infused war cry resounded through the courtyard
But unfortunately, his inti out the disciples atching the situation in the dojo behind him, but didn't work at all on the children and the others who should have taken the entire sound head-on
The two children stood face-to-face
One was a red-haired girl who looked very fierce Her hair was very curly, and stuck out here and there even when it was tied up behind her head
She was Shasheila Luckens, Gorneo's daughter
The other person was the coht, black hair
His naht, he was the son of the Queen of Grendan - Alsheyra Almonise
What was the prince of the Al?
”Oh, Goru What are you doing?”
”Ah, Gorneo Hi”
The kids ignored Gorneo and glared at each other, but two other people looked over at hi
”Why didn't you stop them?”
Gorneo asked the woh he was ninety-nine percent sure this was a futile effort, it was unfortunate that his personality made him ask this
”Why? The two of the fun”
The woman, who had red hair just like Shasheila, said with a calh it was just like he i at all felt very bothersome to Gorneo
Her name was Shante Luckens In the past, her name had been Shante Leite and she had been in the Acadeether with Gorneo Now she was Gorneo's wife and Shasheila's mother
And the other person
She was also a mother
Of course the two of them were both mothers
Gorneo didn't think that Shefa's father had any common sense, but he was certain that he wasn't the kind of person to excitedly join in on this kind of fight
Right, so based on personality, the person there definitely had to be the ht to be correct, but--
”Why did you turn young!?”
In any case, Gorneo wouldn't be satisfied unless he said this, so that's what he shouted
Over there was Shefa's mother, Alsheyra That was completely correct
But her appearance definitely couldn't be called that of a mother
She was definitely two heads shorter than she was the last ti to the same ratio Even her expression held a youth to match her physique
In terms of her appearance, she had returned to that of a ten-year old
”Hehehehe, I surprised you, didn't I, Gorneo”
The little Alsheyra put her hands on her hips and stuck out her chest next to Shefa
”Though I can stopno one conclusion ah it had beco the Heaven's Blade successors could even maintain their youth like the Queen
”I was always thinking about where the problerown, you should just need to tighten the skin If you do that, your muscles naturally return to a suitable size after a while That's right, the proble you can't shrink But I finally solved that puzzle”
Alsheyra said this with a pained expression, perhaps thinking that she had beco the puzzle!”
Alsheyra ht
”Your bones will fracture if you just rapidly increase the pressure over your entire body If you don't do that, and instead take your tiently pressurize them, you can push the surface bones inside bit by bit With thoseyour bones!”
Gorneo didn't understand what she was saying at all
”Oh, I see”
”You get it!?”
Gorneo looked at Shante with a stunned expression, earing an expression of admiration
”Hey, you're too loud!”
Shasheila shouted angrily at the adults who had ignored the children and begun becoht, so watch quietly”
Shefa also looked worriedly at Alsheyra
”What? You were getting dominated before”
”ShShut up!”
”And Shasheila even ended up protecting you!”
”I said shut up!”
Gorneo felt sy Shefa
”Anyway, I said not to fight!”
Though he felt sympathetic, it was an unrelatedkids should do!”
”Even if I's I can't back down froht, right!”
The two of the at this sort of ti to decide victory!”
”Decide victory!'
The two of them released Kei as they shouted
In that ravity and prepared to ly against hi struck
The two kids had unleashed Kei
Just that much had led to a phenomenon of this level
They couldn't be spoken of as mere five-year-old kids
These five-year-old children were already displaying incredibly abnormal Military Artist talent
”Honestly!”
The birth of this child was a joyous thing for the Luckens family - perhaps it made up for his brother's failures - but Gorneo his had turned out this way
”Why do I have to get played around with like this!?”
He was always being toyed with by others, so much that he even felt hate for it
”Ahh, it's always like this! My whole life has been like this!”
”Goru, calm down”
Shante consoled the diss had turned out like this, Gorneo could no longer stop it
After all, he was unable to approach due to the Kei pressure
”Come on, we'll see who's the best today!'
”Yeah!”
Shasheila nodded after Shefa said this
”Today for sure”
”I'll show you whose mom Leerin-sensei is!”
The two of them shouted this in unison and collided with one another
The shockwave produced was completely incomparable to the one before, and Gorneo was bloay
”Uh, your ht there!”
”YYeah Shasheila, I'm yourbloay
”You get what you deserve”
Gorneo's mood improved somewhat
Alsheyra Almonise
The fact that she was her mother had been denied completely
”Why!?”
Her question beca, and Shasheila's uy who pretended to be a normal person had been bloay
”Why, why? Is it because I beca is a sin? Is the proble and the queen and perfect? Is it hard to feel close to me? To think even my son would think that! Ahh, my existence itself is a crime”
”How's that possible”
A retort ca? Honestly, you're the same as before”
It was Leerin
”What do you mean, 'same as before'”
”You're the saot through the explosive sounds of fighting boo around them
Stop
The children, who hadn't even listened to a certain large man when he bellowed this, stopped instantly
”Sensei!”
”Sensei, don't stop us!”
”I'?”
”We're already fed up with our moms”
”Yeah, yeah”
The children’s' words froze the twowith theenerally thoughtful
”Because Mom can't cook”
”When I ask for sweets she tells uht back”
”When she really likes a food she always ”
”She broke ot arten when she made a fuss at the parent conference”
”Me too”
The children listed their points of dissatisfaction one by one,Leerin's expression colder and colder
Shefa and Shasheila had only recently entered the Psyharden Orphanage that Leerin ed
Their mothers' reasons were that the children had extraordinary talent, so a norarten would be unable to foster them Myunfa was a rare individual as a Military Artist and had preschool teaching qualifications, so they had wanted to entrust their children to her no matter what - supposedly
Leerin had also felt split when she heard those requests The children gave off a very crude iht have led to problee institution
The days when she could er a reality, so Leerin hadn't seen Shefa either That had been the same for Shasheila
So she had been a bit worried
But she quickly realized that those worries were unfounded
Shefa and Shasheila were both very obedient children They would pick up on things right away, and quickly got along with the children of the orphanage
Leerin had even wondered what exactly the proble that the proble the first half for now, I can't ignore the last part”
Leerin glared fiercely at the two of theh dryly
”Well, this is okay though”
”I only ot kicked out”
”And I made lots of friends”
”But there's only one open bed right now”
”So only one person can become a family member”
Alsheyra instantly paled the ood”
She spoke unconsciously
Though they hadn'tti
Myunfa's face beca
If she, as alith Leerin, was also reacting like this, itwas correct
So she had better run
