The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World - Chapter 95

“But, for what sake did Ashiya Douman created the Magical Girls? Mass producing such dangerous people… There’s no other merit than just to unhinge the world’s balance.”

“I’ve also gotten interested. But, surely there was a good reason. As I thought it’s just an deduction but, In brief that is—-”

Same day, at the same time.

Side: Morishita Daiki

“Aaaaah! I don’t understand anything anymore!”

Hattori Miyabi prepares her short sword at my words and I once again take a pose barehanded.

“For now, come whenever you feel like it!”

I said that to the ninja in front of me.

Rather, It may have come time that I will always need to carry Excalibur always.

Hattori Miyabi shook her head left and right.

“Achiki… Doesn’t like to fight you here.”

“Haa?”

“Tell me why I should present myself to a barehanded guy who doesn’t even know what ninjutsu he’s applying.”

“Er, you were the one who said that.”

“Oi, you? Do you know the words Fuurin Kazan?” (TN: as fast as the wind, as quiet as the forest, as daring as fire, and immovable as the mountain is what it means this Fuurin Kazan)

“Fuurin Kazan?”

“Yes, actually, fighting in an advantageous position is a ninja’s fundamental tactic. Achiki is saying that Achiki wants to beat you in a place where Achiki can demonstrate her full power!”

Fuurin Kazan had such a meaning?

The question in my head had been satisfied and Hattori Miyabi continued talking.

“I’ll contact you later about the date and place… You definitely must come!”

“To begin with, you’re going to use the advantageous position to settle it completely?”

“Yes, that’s absolutely correct!”

“You… Did you not think that I wouldn’t understand it?”

I don’t understand the strength of a ninja well.

It’s too nonsense to fight in a disadvantageous position.

“No, you’ll definitely understand?”

「……？」

“You’re strong. Besides, I think that you yourself can respond to surprise attacks extremely well. But, what about your friends and family…?”

“Oi, you…”

“Achiki and the others— Have such fighting methods. That’s why we’re ninjas.”

In my chest a dark feeling sprouted.

“See if you can. Try and hurt my precious people.”

I can understand that I’m making an angry expression.

I know that showing your emotions in the battlefield is not good but it seems I can’t stop it.

“I’ll search every crook and nanny, I’ll chase you all even to hell to pull your limbs apart!”

“Ninja’s are always required to stay calm during missions… Intimidation doesn’t work on Achiki.”

She replied back along with gazing straight at me.

And… looking at her eyes I understood.

She was prepared to meet her fate here.

No, just by her appearance she can deceive you as a little girl, but there are eyes lurking of an appropriate warrior.

“I’ll take you on your request. However, promise. That you won’t hurt the people around me.”

“Yes, Achiki rarely lies. Grandpa also said that lying is extremely impolite, the master fencer Sasaki Kojiro in the Edo Period also says that in a haiku.”

Kojiro Sasaki?

How do I put this… so I thought.

No, honestly speaking, from that statement now I have belief however, I don’t worry much about my family.

How do I say this… Her spirit is light… I can feel a certain aura from her.

I know that spirit aura well…

Like Abeno Kaguya or Lela… Hattori Miyabi also has a similar terribly deplorable aura floating around her.

Probably, she can’t lie, why did she say she’s going to lay hands on my family when she never would have.

“At any rate, Achiki is retreating from here!”

“Oi, as for presenting myself where should it be donet?”

“I’ll send you a letter on an arrow so you definitely must come!”

Hattori Miyabi ran with her hands behind her back while not letting me respond back.

After a while, I muttered to myself while standing still.

“Rather, what was she…”

And then something was flying this way.

I grabbed the arrow that was flying and a letter was wrapped on it, I looked at the letter and became speechless.

“Rather, the arrow was fast! Super fast!”

“Oi, Morishita? What’s written on the letter?”

“Ehm…”

I opened the letter and then I made a surprised expression.

“It seems it’s Okinawa two days later.”

“Okinawa… you say?”

“I heard that Okinawa is the birthplace of karate, the foundation for fighting techniques for the ninjas… Rather, Okinawa is a sacred ground so it’s easier to use ninjutsu.”

“I see.”

“No, you agreed to fight in the ninja’s!? You seem to not care at all!”

“No, but, they’re ninjas after all. I would’ve been surprised if the sacred ground for example was the South Pole.”

What does she think of ninjas in her head?

I sighed.

“And then, surprisingly it came with airplane and hotel vouchers. Truly unbelievable.”

Rather, she prepared this much in such a short time.

As I believe she’s certainly a resident on the bad luck side.

“It seems it’s preparations.”

“Well, she’s a ninja.”

Seraphina agreed somehow strangely, I honestly doubt that she’ll comply with just saying ninja.

—There are vouchers for an airplane and a hotel.

And then, I stared fixedly at the letter.

I sighed after looking at the adorable drawn rabbit and the unusually round characters.

“So, there’s Morishita Daiki-sama… Or Morishita Daiki-dono…”

The letter was polite and there was also an address and full name.

The address was this current spot where I am, and in the name field this was written.

Address: Yokohamashi Naka Ku 〇〇City〇District ２－８－7 (TN: Unfortunately I haven’t been to Japan so I don’t know what those circles are censoring.)

Name: Morishita Daiki want you

“What an indirect confession! Actually, why is she addressing me in English! Aaah! I have no clue what she truly meant!”
