CHAPTER 19: LET'S GO TO THE SKI SLOPES
Shocking Truth
～ It turned out to be a Legendary Item ～
NT: Fine, alright… Errrm… First of all, I have to make it clear that this chapter is something I did mainly to give signs of life. Yes, Catora is still alive. I was really busy attending to some issues (I´m still busy, but not as much as I was the rest of the month), and couldn't translate anything during that time. Now, I would have liked to translate more than just one chapter, but, I am very late with the Spanish version of the others novels I'm translating and I want to do some things before trying to do something stupid that ends up delaying me even more. Now… It is not that I am not going to translate anything, I will try to translate the usual "one chapter per week" for now, and when I finally have everything in order, I will try to translate 2 or 3 Chapters at a time, I will see what I do then. Alright… that's all I think…
◇◇ Deep in a Certain Forest ◇◇
「Seriously, use your head a little the next time you decide to go out somewhere alone on your own, that fool almost killed you」, cursed the Blond Hero as he carried Ririanju over his shoulder.
After confirming that Valentine had been pierced by the spears that were at the bottom of the hole after falling into it, he carried Ririanju, who had passed out, on his shoulders and escaped from the place.
「But~, it seemed something important~, ma-maybe it was something she couldn’t postpone~」, said Tsuya, who was desperately chasing the Blond Hero while breathing hard.
Although Tsuya was quite fast, the Blond Hero had no problem running at a speed much higher than hers, even while carrying Tsuya.
Because of that, the Blonde Hero began to move further and further away from Tsuya.
After realizing that, the Blonde Hero said.
「Hey! You are too slow!」
Then, after saying that,
「Kya !?」
「Hold on tight! Understood?」
The Blonde Hero took Tsuya and placed her on his other shoulder, and started running while carrying both.
◇◇Demon King’s Castle • Throne Room ◇◇
「What? You say there was a reaction from the Wickeds?」, asked the Demon King Yuiguard to his subordinate, Fufun the Sucubo, as he rose from his throne.
Yuiguard, who finally decided to turn down his fait on the Evil God after having been ignored on numerous occasions, frowned at the moment when he heard that traces of the Evil God’s subordinates were found.
「So? Where did the reaction come from?」
「About that…」, said Fufun, head bowed, as she checked the documents she carried.
「Ah? What’s going on?」
「Errrm… It’s just that, shortly after we detected its appearance, its signal disappeared completely near the place where it appeared…」
「Hey? What the hell does that mean?」
「A-About that… We are currently investigating the cause…」
「… If you are having so many problems with that, then just send Juteimu and her subordinates to investigate!」
「About that… Recently, Juteimu suffered a tough defeat, and is currently in the middle of her process of resurrection」
Hearing that, Yuiguard placed his hand on his forehead and looked at the ceiling.
「Did that idiot try to do something again?」
「That’s right」, replied Fufun.
「Don’t just say「 That’s right」! You are supposed to keep her from doing things like that! Huh!」
In response to Fufun’s carefree response, Yuiguard punched her directly in the head.
Then, Fufun, who received that blow directly, sank to the floor.
「Yuiguard-sama, would it be too presumptuous for this Yorumeet to offer to perform that task?」, said the Snake Princess, Yorumeet, who was standing next to Yuiguard, while standing in front of him.
「Umu… I will leave it in your hands, I will also allow you to choose the subordinates that you will take with you. Now you can retire」
「Yes」
Yorumeet bowed deeply as she placed her right hand on her chest and left the throne room.
Yuiguard couldn’t help but click with his tongue as he watched her leave.
Yorumeet and the two-headed bird, Fugy and Mugy, were two of the Four Heavenly Kings that had been chosen by the former Demon King Goul.
Yuiguard, who became a Demon King after expelling the previous Demon King, could not help looking negatively at those two, and unconsciously tried to give even more orders to the two Heavenly Kings that he had chosen, Juteimu and Moulin.
Yuiguard continued to look at the entrance to the Throne Room, even after Yorumeet left.
By the way, Fufun was still stuck on the floor.
… Yu-Yuiguard-sama… today’s hi-hit has been wonderful…
Her face was completely red and the blood kept coming out of her nose.
She was clearly an M with no chance of rehabilitation.
◆◇ In the villa that was in the middle of the Arnps Mountains, at the east of Houtau City • Night ◇◆
「Seriously… that was horrible」, said Slape, who was lying on a large sofa in the living room, while letting out a deep breath.
「Slape-sama~, are you all right~?」, asked Bireri, worriedly while massaging his shoulders from behind.
Slape seemed to have liked Bireri to do that since he soon recovered, showing himself extremely happy,
「Umu, umu, umu, thanks for the massage, I needed something that would lift my spirit」, said Slape while laughing out loud.
Bireri, happy for his answer, said,「Understood~, then I will continue to make you feel even better~」, while putting even more strength on her hands while massaging Slape’s shoulders.
「……」
Gozaru, who was sitting on another sofa, other than Slape’s, was staring at Uliminus, who stood next to him, while crossing his arms.
Uliminus was counting the money she had earned with Slape during the day.
Uliminus continued counting her money while ignoring Gozaru’s gaze.
Meanwhile, Gozaru continued looking at her without saying anything.
「Nishishi…」
「……」(Ji… “stare”
「Um, nya nya…」
「……」(Ji… “stare”
「Chuchukokana* nya~♪…」
「……」(Ji… “stare”
「……」
「……」(Ji… “stare”
「……」
「……」(Ji… “stare”
「Enough!」
Gozaru, who continued to stare at Uliminus, gradually began to approach his face, exerting even greater pressure and causing Uliminus to lose her temper.
「If you want something just say it nya! This is annoying nya! Irritant nya! Stifling nya!」
「Umu, just looking」
「Al, ri, ght, then, do you think that’s the right way to do it nya!? Ah!?」
「Hahaha, aren’t we married? you don’t have to be so shy with me」
「I’m not shy nya! Sha~~~~~!」
While Gozaru laughed, Uliminus, who had already lost her patience, took out her claws and pointed to Gozaru with them, however, Gozaru, who did not care in the least for that, simply kept laughing.
NT: Yeah~, I looked over that. It seems to be a song that is usually sung while accounts are made. I guess it will have to do with some jargon or idioms from some region of Japan. I don't really know. (This is what was on the raw "ひぃふぃみぃ" and "ちゅうちゅうたこかいっと")
◆◇ ◆
「Looks like they’re having fun there in the living room」
Barissa, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, smiled to herself as she heard Gozaru's and Uliminus's voices coming from the living room.
「So it seems. Alright, let’s forget that and let’s focus on preparing dinner. I’m sure there’s not much left for Gozaru-san to come here asking, 「Is the food ready?」」
Furio, who was helping to prepare dinner, was passing the contents of the pan to a large plate.
「Furio-dono, this is delicious. I am unable to do something like this」, said Barissa, lamenting the fact that she was not as skilled in the kitchen as Furio.
「It’s not like that, I think it’s normal for me as a husband to help Lys since she can’t anymore」, said Furio with a smile on his face.
Behind them was Lys, asleep in a kitchen chair.
Originally, Barissa and Lys should have been the ones to prepare today’s dinner, however, because Lys had been playing all day with Garyl and Elizabeth, she just fell asleep at the time she sat in the chair that was in the kitchen.
At her feet was Saber.
Saber alternate his gaze between Furio and Lys.
Then, with his gaze, he told Furio, 『Should I wake her up?』, While pointing at Lys with his arm.
Furio shook his head from left to right with a wry smile.
After confirming that, Saber retired jumping into the living room.
A few seconds later
「Ah~!」
「Ah~!」
「Ah~!」
The voices of Garyl, Elizabeth and Risley, and what seemed to be Saber’s scream, could be heard at the moment Saber entered into the Living Room.
Soon after, the voices of Suber, Seber and Sober also began to be heard, but by that time, Saber’s voice was almost completely inaudible.
Saber probably resigned himself to his destiny while saying something like, 「I don’t care, do whatever you want funsu!」, And let them play with him without resistance, or that's what Furio thought as he imagined the kind of things Saber should be going through right now, while adding some more ingredients to the pan with a wry smile on his face.
◆◇ ◆
Furio, who had already finished eating, was chatting with the others in the living room.
「Then, let’s go take a bath first」
Bireri, with Risley in his arms, went to the bathroom with to Slape.
「Gozaru-san, is it okay if Lys and I are next to take a bath?」
「Umu, of course」
Gozaru, who had just eaten, had returned from the kitchen with a pile of fruits.
「Gozaru-dono, didn’t you just eat?… I’m surprised you are able to keep your figure despite everything you eat」, said Barissa impressed as she watched Gozaru bringing the fruit to his mouth.
At the same time, Barissa placed her hand on her stomach.
Barissa, who had recently been eating more than usual, was beginning to worry that she might lose her figure.
… No… I’m sure that won’t happen as long as I don’t neglect my sword training.
Barissa couldn’t help looking at her stomach nervously as a drop of sweat fell down her forehead.
「Um? What’s going on? Barissa?」
「No-Nohing! It-It’s nothing, Gozaru-dono!」. Barissa, who was too focused on her stomach, answered that alarmedly.
「Um, if nothing happens to you then it’s fine, but, could it be that you’re worried that your waist measurement has increased by 4 centimeters?」
「Wha-What? What do you mean? No-It can’t be that it has increased so much!」
The moment Gozaru pointed that out, Barissa’s face turned red, at the same time she began to speak alarmedly.
◆◇ ◆
Next to the living room,
On the large carpet that had spread on the floor for the children to play, was Garyl, Elizabeth and the children of Saber, sleeping.
In their midst was Saber, who seemed to be saying, 『Uff, I’m finally free』, while stroking his head after he escaped.
Furio, who noticed Saber, said「Thank you for your hard work, Saber」, while smiling.
*Funsufunsu!*. In response to that, Saber raised his voice while smiling happily.
◇◇ Deep in a Certain Forest ◇◇
「… This Valentine-sama…. lowered her guard?…」
The third subordinate of the Evil God, the Majin of Threads, Valentine, who finally managed to crawl out of the hole, was speechless while leaning with his hands on the ground.
Although Valentine had been careful as she approached the Blond Hero, she still ended up falling into his trap.
… Anyway, with my current magical power it will be impossible for me to take revenge on that guy and punish the Demon Army.
When Valentine got up, she displayed a magic search around her.
A short time later, Valentine, who had caught a reaction, slowly opened her eyes and turned eastward.
「There's a lot of people are gathering in that direction… I also felt the presence of some Demons…」
Valentine licked her lips as she confirmed the reaction of her magic.
「If there are any Demons… then I could use my thread to snatch all their magical power.
I could also replenish a little more of my magical power if I absorb the vital energy of the humans that are there」, said Valentine as she ran east.
◇◇ Near the Demon King’s Castle ◇◇
「Yorumeet-sama, I’ve… caught the presence of one of the Wickeds」, muttered Stake, the Akuma, who had been continuously displaying his search magic, as he opened his eyes with a smile on his face.
「… That Wicked… can I cut it? *Kukukuku*」, said Stake as he laughed at the same time as countless blades began to sprout from his body.
「That will be complicated, but well, everyone, prepare to submit to our goal」
After confirming Stake’s words, Yorumeet called all the Demons she had summoned.
Then, when he gave the signal, all the Demons began to rise to the sky at once.
◇◇？？？◇◇
「Blo-Blond Hero-sama~! Why are you putting a trap in a place like this!?」
「Silence! Don't say anything! My intuition tells me that I should put it here!」, said the Blond Hero while wielding his shovel with all his might.
＊ Drill Bulldozer Scoop • Number in possession of the Blond Hero: 3
Magic tool capable of digging holes 1,000 times faster than a normal shovel － Legendary Article －
「Now that I think about it~, where do you buy these shovels, Blond Hero-sama~? These are really easy to use~」
「I didn’t buy them」
「Eh?」
「I stole them from the Castle treasury. I mean, BORROWED THEM!」
「No, you… just said that you stole the-…」
「I BORROWED THEM!」
「But you…」
「I BORROWED THEM!」
「……」
Tsuya finally decided to remain silent while continuing to dig traps with the Blonde Hero.
NT: LOOK, IT’S ELIZABETH, THE SHOVEL HERO.NT2: Honestly, I don’t remember that the Blond Hero mentioning stealing the shovels before (I guess he did it while escaping from the Kingdom after being stripped of his title of Hero by the Princess Queen)… I’m sure I saw some illustrations of them in Volume 2 or 3, but, I think that the author had never mentioned them before in the Web Novel…
NT3: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments.
