Konjiki No Moji Tsukai - Chapter 286

Chapter 286 Bitterness of Defeat

[Looks like its over already]

Ten said while looking at Hiiro who was putting up a long face in the sea

[Wh-what are you trying to say.?]

Shinobu replied to Ten while she and Shuri looked at Hiiros figure who was fighting in the sky so far and was beaten in the confrontation.

[Is it really fine if you dont go over?]

Shuri asked Ten who was a contracted [Spirit] of Hiiro, but Ten shook his head.

[Yeah its fine, but I almost thought that Hiiro was going to lose his life over there.]
[Eh? There is no way that it could happen right?]

Shinobu doubted those words as if it was natural.

[Yeah. Thats because there was no killing intent from the opponents gaze]
[Killing intent..thats not possible..and moreover, Okamura-chi is]
[E-EH]

Shuris words overlapped with Shinobus. Anybody would feel the same when they look at the two of them fighting at such a tremendous speed while swinging their swords.

[Hiiro looks like hes giving it his all but his opponent looks as if he is playing with him]
[Th-that i-is playing?]

Shinobu was going OMG. Clearly, to her, both of them fighting at quite the speed was already absurd but her sense of reality was overturned when she was told that the opponent was playing around.

[Anyways, if that guy was to really get serious then I would also head there]
[….tet-chi, you know how to swim?]
[Its unnecessary to do so.if I felt like it, I could teleport to where Hiiro is instantly.]
[Woah~ ten-san your really amazing]
[Ukikiki~ Praise me more~]

Ten stretched out his chest to boast.

[Thats fine, but to fight with Okamura-chi as if playing around, who is that person ya?]
[Somehow, he is one of Matar Deus]
[Th-that means they are ones who have held Taishi and gang captive?]

Shinobu and Shuri were surprised.

[Yeah, it seems they are the ones.]

Ten was connected to the Katana Zangeki and so, he could see and hear what Hiiro could with the sword. And moreover, he could quickly teleport to the place where the sword is located, so he would have headed over to Hiiro if it really did get dangerous.

But once he saw the other party, and since he couldnt feel any killing intent or murderous aura from the other party, Ten left it alone. As the opponent said, they were only here for a simple meal.

Ten was surprised because even with Hiiros word magic {Super Acceleration} it was still treated as a joke by the opponent, and apparently, the opponent even seemed to have other magical tools and strange magic potions.

Especially that Red Ball. It seemed to be some kind of tool which had the effect of [Magic nullification], or something similar to that spell.

Ten was able to analyze the speed and strength of the opponent through his sword, but it was indeed true that no magic could be used, and hence Hiiro dropped from the sky to the sea, if the opponent was also able to fight in the sky then it would have been troublesome.

Hiiro did have some methods to counter these tools, but after fighting with the Count Octopus, as well as diving deep into the sea to find the happiness shark had reduced quite a bit of Hiiros strength and magic, and even if Hiiro did use it then it wouldnt have had a good outcome.

And since Hiiro also realized this, he did not rush to call Ten or did he use magic like on the Count octopus.

It is as Ten said, there was no killing intent from the other party.

(But even so, for the enemy to have a person like that on their side….)

Ten remembered the enemies who disappeared into the sky.

(But, seriously you have no idea what kind of a provocation you have just made)

Ten looked at Hiiro, who was swimming towards him and shrugged his shoulders.
(Hiiro was previously not that interested withMatar Deusbut, with what happened this time I really can’t say. If Hiiro wants to get really serious about this, then even I can’t do anything about it, I really don’t know what might happen.). That’s what I honestly Thought, but even so, I was really looking forward to the day we would go against the them.

Well, it looks like Hiiro lost a Point this time.
Eh? what just happened?

Shinobu who couldn’t understand what just happened asked Ten,

The Predecessor Demon Lord is in for a lot of grief is what happened.

Ten understood that there was nothing more troubling than making Hiiro into their enemy.

……..hey, what happened tet-chi?
Hmm? Nothing Much, I just feel sorry for the Person who just angered theAll Round Specialist
All Round? what is that?
…….i dont know as well?

Shinobu and Juri inclined their neck while looking at each other while in thought.

After swimming a considerable distance with his own Swimming skills, the feeling of his Magical powers which was sealed, slowly revived.

Soon after Hiiro wrote the characterFlightonto himself and flew up from the sea and returned to the Beach.

*Drip Drip* water trinkled onto the beach from his clothes. And he finally arrived at the beach and stepped on the sand with his foot while his clothes were sufficiently soaked and dripping, causing Hiiro to look displeased at himself.

Shishouoooo!(Masterrrrr!!!)

Nikki rushes over with an anxious expression.
Next to Nikki was Camus who also looked over at Hiiro with concern.
The two must have also seen the battle that took place above.

Hiiro writes a word onto his clothesDrywhich cause all the moisture in his clothes to be swept away, Cleaning him.

Since there were no wounds, there was no pain, but the Mental pain affected him quite a bit.

Ma-Master……

Nikki kept Mum not knowing whether to speak up or not looking at Hiiro. But Camus came over to Hiiro’s side,

Fine? Hiiro?
Ah?………well

Although Hiiro’s response was blurry, he did respond, to which Nikki.

Ma-Master……

Nikki looked up at him, with eyes like a puppy which had been thrown away. Unintentionally Hiiro let out a glare causing Nikki to scowl and turn timid, but a hand reached out towards Nikki’s head while Hiiro closed his eyes and finally let out a breath.

Hiiro did not pat Nikki’s head but stroked it, somehow he felt that this would be the best way to convey his thoughts.

Ma-master?

A sense of relief was included in her tone.
She thought this was how it had always been.

Don’t worry.Next time it will be my win.

Nikki who had been timid and speechless up until now finally cracks and an expression of spring was reflected on her face as if a flower was in full bloom

Hai-desuzo!

She replied joyfully.

Hiiro removed his hand from Nikki’s head, causing her to let out a disappointingah….., but soon after Nikki smiled again.

Master! As Master Instructed, we gathered a whole lot of Iroboshi Shellfish-desuzo!

There was a huge pile of Colourful Star-Shaped Shellfish.

Good job, You guys did well

Nikki and Camus who were praised felt really pleased.

My Disciple and Subordinate did so well while I……che

He felt angry at his own shortcomings.
The one who escaped Noah Black.
Remembering his figure, he felt anger surging within himself.

But no matter how many times he remembers, it wouldn’t be helpful.
His failure was Undeniably True.

With all that rampage, the Happiness Shark would definitely not show up again.
Feeling sorry for Mosun, he made up his mind that he would definitely catch it when the opportunity arrives and ask Mosun to cook it for him.

Ten walks towards Hiiro while smirking.

Ooo Hiiro, {Nigger} you got Played.(TL Note: I had to do it.)
Enough Talking Monkey
ukiki! but the debt will definitely be returned right?
Of course.That Drooping eyes, andMatar Deus. There is a score to be settled

Probably, if Eveam were to hear those words she would be delighted while waving her hands eagerly, but even so, Hiiro never had the thought of borrowing the power of the Demons.

He had made up his mind, that he would personally take care of his anger and stress on every individual.

Ten was worried about the two and therefore continued to instruct them, Shinobu and gang which turned out very well, and the familiarity between them and the soldiers deepened, and the Herb Corps were now willing to trust the two.

As everyone dived into the ocean, Shinobu and Shuri seemed to have the ability to search for the target, which even soldiers found helpful.

A large variety of fishes and shellfishes which were tall as the mountains were put in a large net. Loading all of them into the Sky Horse Carriage, Hiiro and gang returned to the Demon Country Xaous.

After returning to XaousShublarz received the report, after looking through the report Shublarz told Eveam about Shinobu and gangs achievements and asked her to rewards the two, the two of them received a Medal which further boosted the Morale of the soldiers

Although the eyes of the soldiers towards the two changed a little, it was still quite far from earning their trust after just one time.

Even so, the two did not feel down but they were actually pleased with the results, they were determined to work more diligently in the future.

In the meantime, the report also came in about Hiiro failing in his task, but most of the people ignored this and refused to believe it. There was just something different about Hiiro and therefore they believed that there was a reason for it and made up their own reasons selfishly.

Shinobu and gang were heaving a sigh, thinking that this was the difference between Heroes of a country and Heroes of an Enemy country, but Nikki who was nearby, was laughing wryly.

Listening to report that Hiiro had failed in his task, it was Liliyn and Eveam who choked.
They believed that they had to ask him about the whole story and hear the details about it.

I have no Obligation to speak

As a result of being shut away coldly, they had no choice but to ask someone who knew what happened without any choice.

And the one who they found to learn about the details was…..

At that time Hiiro was, just playing around~~

It was Ten, Hiiros contracted Spirit who was earlier with Hiiro.
Ten recited the details as if it was really happening in front of their eyes.

The place where this event was taking place was unexpectedly in the Guest room, and Hiiro was unexpectedly was at a place where Camus was.

It was placed where the sand was abundant, it was a desert.
That right, this was Camus’s Hometown Raohrb Desert].

The two of them came here with a purpose, Camus and Hiiro headed to a place where the Asuraslived.

The entire Asura Tribewere surprised by their visit including Liliyn Old friend Sivan by the Camus and Hiiro’s Visit.

Moreover, theAsura Tribewas overjoyed that their Savior Hiiro had returned and where completely in a celebratory Mood.

The children whose wounds were healed by Hiiro earlier took the initiative and made a welcoming party.
Although it was mostly Fruits, the fruits prepared were really delicious.

By the way, why did you come all the way here for?

When Sivan asked Hiiro like that,

This is the best place to train
Train?
aaa, This place is the best for Nitoryuu to train, and there is no chance of being spied on by anyone

That’s right, There will be little damage to the surrounding even if one were to go on a rampage here, and also Camus, who is a training partner can also have no worries and rampage without restraints. Other than that, there are no travelers around here and the chance of being disturbed while training is very unlikely.

Hoho, You are already quite strong, are you still trying to get stronger
………it’s because I don’t want to die.

Hiiro remembered the encounter with Noah the other day.
At that time, Noah was not even serious, if he was then Hiiro wouldnt be alive right now.
Hiiro had naturally not given his all the other day, but he still felt that Noah was still leagues above.
Moreover, that Black swan….

(If Statuswas correct then it is the same as one of those…….)

Thinking about someone, his eyes turned sharp.
Sivan who saw his eyes,

fumu, apparently there is still a long way to go.
Hmm, Camus (Sivan)
Yes?
Fully lend your powers
……..that means..

Camus Nodded his head intently.

Then let’s go on Nitoryuu
Yes

The two disappeared further into the desert
