Volume 6, Chapter 9: It’s like a girl’s manga.
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Yoshifumi and two of his cronies were leisurely leaving the adventurer’s guild and tavern.
Hanakawa quietly followed them out.
Hanakawa and the others were the last ones left. There was no way the customers would continue to stay in a place that writhed and turned to stone, so they quickly fled.
Naturally, there was a commotion outside…
He turned around and saw what appeared to be a huge statue of a beast sticking out of the ground. It was the end of the tavern.
And the commotion was not only in the tavern, but also in the surroundings.
Tigers, wolves, bears, boars, chickens.
Huge beasts were rampaging through the city.
There was no clear will in them. They were destroying buildings and eating people at random.
There didn’t seem to be any kind of control over them.
“Hey, hey, it’s getting really bad, huh?”
Yoshifumi said happily, looking at the devastation in the town.
This was the imperial capital of the empire that Yoshifumi ruled, but he didn’t seem to care much about it.
-Casually fade out while I’m not getting any attention! This is it! And now that I’m finally free, I can finally build my otherworldly harem!
But that would require not only leaving this place, but also escaping the empire.
He needed to find a place that was as free of the Sage’s influence as possible, a place where Hanakawa could be moderately active.
Hanakawa began to back away little by little.
He didn’t show any signs of panic and casually kept his distance.
“What’s Lena doing? She’s getting beat up all the time.” T/N Rena(Yoshifumis Subordinate) -> Lena
“Lena’s got a head start, she should be able to keep up.”
One of his cronies, a small woman, said.
“What are you going to do with it”
The tall woman asked.
“Hey. It’s so big to see such a messy thing. I can’t stand it.”
“Well, the damage is limited to the southwest block of the third layer. It doesn’t seem to have gone outside.“
The imperial capital is huge and is divided into several districts.
This was the district on the southwest side of the outer rim, and the districts were separated from each other by city walls.
“So just clean up here.”
„Okay.“
The petite woman replied lightly.
Hanakawa had a bad feeling about this.
This woman was going to do something.
It would be an attack against the beasts that Akinobu had created, and based on their earlier conversation, it would be indiscriminate.
Hanakawa, who had been trying to keep his distance, approached Yoshifumi and the others again.
If there was a safe place, he decided, it would be on their side.
-anyway, what? I’m one of them, but what? I’ll go with something like that, that I will!
Hanakawa casually decided to stand by Yoshifumi and the others.
It’s a good idea to keep a distance between me and my friends so that I can be seen as a friend.
Hanakawa thought that he could stay here as a friend, if he interpreted his earlier comment that he loved small fry who cowered in fear as favorably as possible.
Hanakawa’s action was right.
Indeed, nothing had happened within a few meters around Yoshifumi and the others.
„Yes?“
It was an instantaneous event.
Everything was gone.
All that was left was the wall that surrounded the area, and nothing else.
The rampaging beasts, the people going about the town, the buildings standing in a row.
Everything disappeared without a sound, and Hanakawa and the others were left with a vast empty space.
-No, no, no, no, no, no! What is this? This is crazy!
It was just gone.
It was all completely gone.
There must have been several thousand people in this area alone.
What did it mean that they had disappeared? Hanakawa stopped to think about it.
Even if he thought about it, he didn’t think he would come to any good conclusion.
“Hey! Can you please not suddenly reset the system?”
Hanakawa heard an angry voice from behind him and turned around.
Rena and Rei Kujima, who had left in pursuit of Shigeto, were standing there.
They should have been gone just a few moments ago, but they were there as if they were there from the beginning.
“I was wondering if it’s okay that Rena-chan’s mid-boss-like ability allows her to anticipate or appear behind others!”
-Is she like Mary-san? It’s like she’s behind me [1]
Hanakawa remembered the famous urban legend.
“Who‘s Mary-san?“
Hanakawa was taken aback by Lena’s sudden question.
He hadn’t expected to be talked to out of the blue.
And now Hanakawa was the center of attention.
“So, who’s this guy?”
“He’s here all of a sudden. Did I have to turn him off?”
“Oh, for the love of God, please!”
Hanakawa decided to get down on his knees again.
There should be no reason for them to actively kill Hanakawa.
Then, he would play it down anyway and wait for them to lose interest.
They wouldn’t just stand there in the middle of nowhere like this forever.
They would go somewhere sooner or later, Hanakawa hoped.
“…… I have a feeling he’s thinking, “If I poop right here, he will go away in disgust.””[2] (Lena) T/N: wtf
„Why?“
Lena said as if she had read his mind.
Hanakawa tried to hang on to his previous success.
“I just thought so.“
“No, no, no. You’re reading my mind, aren’t you?“
“That’s not good. If I could read your mind, you can’t think anything bad. I think you’re thinking about Boobs”
“Damn it! I tried to think of more things I’d like to have a beautiful girl say to me, but she passed on that one! What am I supposed to do?”
“Well, why don’t you try sh*tting?”
The small woman said innocently.
“Would you be able to help me, that you would? If so, I will give you as much as you want, that I will?
“No, no. No, I’ll just delete the poop.”
„That’s right!“
-Oh, if she can read my mind, what does she want me to do? How about just thinking about things that are unbearable to listen to? I think that would just get me killed for being depressed! I mean, just the fact that I’m thinking like this right now is enough to make people think I should be killed!
Nothingness.
He had to become nothing.
If he became like a stone and remained unresponsive, he might lose interest and walk away.
With that thought in mind, Hanakawa turned his face down and rubbed his forehead on the ground.
They had seen through Shigeto’s abilities.
He must be able to use appraisal-type skills.
If so, he must have known that Hanakawa was not very powerful.
In other words, he should have known that Hanakawa was no threat and that it would not be a problem to miss him here.
“You’re funny.”
“No, it’s not like a shoujo manga… Hiiiiiiii! I’m sorry!”
He reacted, but it was Yoshifumi who said it.
“I’ve never seen your type before. I’ll keep you as a clown. Follow me.”
“Well, I’m not worthy of being kept by a Sage, or rather, I’m a difficult person to keep, so I think it would be better to let me go back to nature, if possible, so that everyone can be happy. …… No, I’m coming! I’ll be there!”
Yoshifumi just smirked, but the people around him reacted differently.
Hanakawa felt a chill running down his spine as his minions looked at him.
They would not allow him to defy Yoshifumi’s order. Hanakawa succumbed to the pressure.
The only way left for Hanakawa was to follow Yoshifumi.
Notes:
1. Mary-san is a Doll from a Japanese Horror Movie that likes to appear behind the movies MC
2. I looked up the meaning of うんち(unchi) multiple times… It can also mean Bullsh*t, but that doesn’t fit the context
