Chapter 141 Youngsters

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The coming of a demihuman who even surpassed the tens of thousands humans and demons.

Can he just do it normally? This guy.

Despite being in war among each other races, he doesn’t show any fear at all. Instead those who in fear are the humans and demons in that place.

“Nfu~fufu, this is a nostalgic smell, the smell of men’s sweat, tears and blood ♪” (Yubamensch)

So this is Maman, no, one of the Four Heavenly Beast Demihumans, Yubamensch.

“Yubamensch, what business an ancient relic like you want here! You are soiling a supreme battle!”

He is the one who was the quickest to regain himself amongst the people who were still dumbfounded, showing his dignity, a member of the Six Great Ogre Demon Generals. He is the man of valor who fought against Shout’s group once. A man named Togeni, the ogre whose whole body wrapped in armor full of thorns.

“Nfufufu, anyway Vel-chan. Since Forna-chan is fighting, I thought you would also participate in the war in one way or another, but to think you’d get to fight Zekkun in a life or death battle, isn’t that ama~zing.” (Yubamensch)

Maman just smoothly ignored him though!

“No well, Maman, I’m surprised that you came so suddenly, but don’t ignore him now, it makes him looks pitiful.” (Velt)

“No way~, to be called ancient relic despite my skin is still this smooth, I don’t care about a person who says such a rude thing.” (Yubamensch)

Maman wriggled as he showed off his sleek skin. It’s grossly scary. You can feel terror in each of his movements.

“Tch, don’t joke around, Yubamensch! You appeared out of nowhere and uttered such nonsense! Keep your mouth off our holy war! Just send out your prayers for the dead!” (Togeni)

Then General Togeni filled power to his whole body and broke into a run towards Maman.

“You’re already a thing from the past! You’re no match to us who always struggle desperately on the foremost line!” (Togeni)

“Stop, stop it, Togeni!” (Zetsuki)

At that time, if one thought that it was Zetsuki’s voice that was reverberating…

“Tei”

“---------------------------------------------!!!!”

Was it a cannon that was shot out? No, it was an ogre. Maman was standing as he was right there whilst doing a forehead flicking posture. That’s right it’s just a flicking. With a single finger.

“Wait, Ma, Maman!”

With just a single finger, the ogre who had his name famous in the world got sent flying.

“What!”

“Wa, wait!”

“General Togeni!”

“You must be kidding! He is the general who is equal to me, Shout, Doremifa, and Solasido, us four combined!” (Barts)

“So this is, one of the Four Heavenly Beast Demihumans!”

That’s right, this is indeed the Four Heavenly Beast Demihumans.

“Fu, fuhaha, that strength never change. You haven’t rusted at all.” (Zetsuki)

“It’s not rusted but sleekly smooth♪Look at this beautiful skin~” (Yubamensch)

“It makes me shivers!” (Zetsuki)

This absurd manner is really resembling to the time when I met Isamu.

“But, but, why is that Yubamensh here? He said he came to stop the war? And more than that, why does he know Velt?”

“Velt-sama not only has acquainted with Isamu but also Yubamensch!”

Now then, where should I start to explain it to Shout’s group? However, I don’t understand why Maman has come here myself too.

And then, Maman started to slowly walk to Zetsuki.

“Zekkun” (Yubamensch)

“Have you once again come to dance on the battlefield? No, rather than that, why are you protecting that brat!” (Zetsuki)

“Ufufufu, I’m not protecting him. There’s no need to protect him after all, Vel-chan is strong. I’m just coming to this war to strike up a deal.” (Yubamensch)

It looked as if he is meeting again with his old friend. It seems like these two has also became friends in a way ordinary person can’t comprehend.

“You see you see, Zekkun. Lately, my cute~ cute~ daughter has made a new merchandise.” (Yubamensch)

Wait, what is he talking about while wriggling?

“You know~ It’s a 50cm thick-soled boots! And you know, they’re something that can’t help but make you hard to walk! Despite so, the youngsters thought they’re so cute, so the orders for them keep coming endlessly!” (Yubamensch)

That’s just a rip-off. I mean, what is this talk about?

“You see, I still able to keep up with the currently trending fashion vogue. But even I found myself be amazed by the ideas and values of the youngsters that keep gushing out like spring water.” (Yubamensch)

“What, what are you talking about! Do you come here only for that useless talk!” (Zetsuki)

Zetsuki frowned as he said that, instead Maman’s expression became serious.

“Zekkun, the legends about us has been continuing since far in the past. But, that history is now finally starting to change.” (Yubamensch)

“What are you saying?” (Zetsuki)

“That’s right, my daughter, Vel-chan, and his friends. It can’t be helped since they’re just small existence right now. But even so, Vel-chan is able to clash against you right from the front. Becoming a struggle to death. A clear proof that the next generation has already rearing it’s head.” (Yubamensch)

“So what’s wrong with it! The generation being raised like that will still inherit our will and will begin another warring periods. Isn’t that how the world goes around so far!” (Zetsuki)

“Didn’t I say it? It isn’t the generation that has changed. It is the era itself. And as the era changes, each one’s way of thought and sense of values will ended up changing too.” (Yubamensch)

That’s right, as the era changes, people will adopt to that era’s way of thinking. And along with that, the people who has [outdated way of doing] and [outdated way of thinking], those people who can’t ride on the wave of new era, those who has already hardened their ways and can’t be changed anymore will ended up seeing things becoming like that.

“Vel-chan also said it like that too, but still I don’t think all the war till now as meaningless. However. You’ve said that ‘if you want to change the world you should do it yourself’ but unexpectedly, the youngsters are capable of destroying old sense of values and the world itself quite easily.” (Yubamensch)

“What nonsense are you spouting!” (Zetsuki)

“Zekkun. We are war buddies that already drink and talk together while people unbeknownst. But, while now it is still in minority, one day it won’t be that unusual anymore. Rather than went beyond the walls of races, as if the walls of races aren’t exist in the first place, the future will come when humans with demon race, humans with demihumans, can be love dovey and get married.” (Yubamensch)

“Hah, worthless! It’s all flowers in your head! There’s no way that kind of dream like thing can happen!” (Zetsuki)

Huh?

It was at that time. Maman made a terrifyingly sinister [grin] as smile plastered on his face.

“ “ ‘Staaareeee~~~~” “ “

Somehow it felt like either Barts or Shout was staring at me too.

“ “ “Ooh, that’s exactly! Exactly! Exactly!” “ “

Rumba’s group was looking at me with sparkling eyes.

“Everyone will say it. There’s no precedent of it. Dismissing it as a strange talk. But the beginning always have no precedent. The history will be written right from that instant as the start.” (Yubamensch)

“But, however, still!” (Zetsuki)

“I know, but if we are feeling at a loss on how to make that new beginning, that’s exactly why it won’t be bad if we try to entrust it to the youngsters.” (Yubamensch)

“Then, then what should be done! You came and stop this war, what exactly are you trying to say! Could it be, you’re trying to reconcile with human race? There’s no way that can happen! We, us all have always fight together with Kishin-sama!” (Zetsuki)

It’s not like I can’t understand what Zetsuki was saying. They really exist huh. That kind of guy who can’t help but be honestly obstinate. But it’s not only like that in Zetsuki’s case. It’s because Zetsuki isn’t fighting all by himself after all.

But Maman still keeping up his smile.

“Then, how if Kii-kun ordered it by himself?” (Yubamensch)

“Wha, what the?” (Zetsuki)

“What if the Hell Demon Kingdom’s Demon king Kishin or Kii-kun, ordered to stop this war himself?” (Yubamensch)

What an unfair question. To think he would ask that kind of question to this battle maniac ogre who is a mass of unreasonable amount of loyalty. Zetsuki can only groan at that question.

However, even if we to continue the war, the ones who are going to shed blood isn’t just Kishin. No, not only the ogres but the humans would be put in the same place too.

“Don’t joke around! My best friend was killed by the ogres!”

“My brother and sister were killed in a dirty trap set by the humans! There’s no way I gonna reconcile even if I die!”

“My dad was killed by the demons!”

“They burned our village!”

“They destroyed our country!”

They keep coming one after another, It was like a battle of sorrowful story. Each and every one of them went [me too me too], it’s not like anyone was hearing them but they keep coming in mass.

However, regardless of how Maman predicted it to be, the people affected by the war have already pointed to their refusal. And like that, the history will repeat once again.

What a pain in the ass world this is.

“Kuhahaha, how is it, Maman? Reality isn’t so sweet isn’t it?” (Zetsuki)

“Yes, it is. But, isn’t it exactly why there’s me and you here?” (Yubamensch)

“Hah?” (Zetsuki)

Despite all the disparaging opinions Maman was still at ease.

“In the first place, there’s no need to convince all of the tens of thousands people from the Great Human Alliance Army nor the Hell Demon Kingdom. In the first place, if we can convince just a few of them then it will be fine.” (Yubamensch)

And then, with a ‘whoosh’ Maman spun one hundred eighty degrees and then smiled at me.

Scary! What’s the point of him doing that!

“Let’s go, Vel-chan, let’s go let’s go!” (Yubamensch)

“Cut it off please, people gonna mistake it for entirely something else. And, where are we going anyway.” (Velt)

I got a very bad feeling about this.

“Stupid huh~, of course there’s only that place.” (Yubamensch)

As he said that, Maman pointed at the sky. Sky? No. It’s the Demon King Castle Hannyala that can even reach the heavens.

“If we can convince the person at the peak of that place, it’s your win then.”

“Heck, so what you meant was the Demon King’s place!” (Velt)

It’s the big boss’s lair! And, isn’t right now the real fight of Demon King and Heroes is ongoing over there right!

“Wait, Yubamensch! Do you intend to go to Kishin-sama’s place!” (Zetsuki)

“Yes, we need to have a heart-to-hear talk after all. I don’t mind it if you want to interfere us. I’m still just a third party. However, if you were to interfere us then I will be an ally of my precious friend Vel-chan.” (Yubamensch)

Making enemies of Maman. Zetsuki knows the meaning of it more than anyone else. And it’s also the same with other guys. They all went completely weak in the knees against Maman who had blown away one of the Six Great Ogre Demon Generals with just one finger.

But, Zetsuki won’t just let go.

“Wait, I shall come with you too!” (Zetsuki)

That’s the limit of his concession.

“As I expect, facing you here would be disadvantageous of me. It might cost us tremendous amount casualties after all. However, things would be end as it is should Kishin-sama reject of what you propose. It would be the same should you try to force your way to make your proposal being heard. I shall kill you with all my strength even if it cost me my life.” (Kishin)

“That’s fine. If I were to act inappropriately you can embrace me or violate me as much as you want.” (Yubamensch)

This is an unbelievable development. We enter the Demon King castle not to fight but to do talk instead, a talk with demons, demihumans, and humans.

Huh? Human?

“Hey why am I should come too! It’s got nothing to do with me at all!” ( Velt)

“It is. After all, you are the key to all this.” (Yubamensch)

Key?

“That’s right. The organization that Mackey made, that organization about love and wealth isn’t needed anymore. That organization doesn’t concern itself with money anymore after all.” (Yubamensch)

“Love and wealth? So you mean Love and Money.” (Velt)

“Yes it is. But it will be different from now on. They have reborn… into an organization that pursues love and peace.” (Yubamensch)

“Heck, wait a sec! So you got into it too! So we haven’t cut off that thing about fourth faction at all!” (Velt)

“But, it’s for my daughter after all~ wouldn’t it be very romantic if she able to marry with the person she liked in her previous life in her current li~fe! And together they then strive for world peace. Isn’t it very beau~tiful!” (Yubamensch)

“You, don’t joke with me! In the first place, I don’t like her, that ganguro elf bitch!” (Velt)

Stop joking around! Why am I should marry with that gyaru!

And more than that, love and peace? That means,

“The new organization. It’s the founding of [Love and Peace].” (Yubamensch)

“That’s, laaaaaaaaaameeeee!” (Velt)

In the place I don’t know of, my world has started to move by itself.

“This, this is unbelievable!” (Rumba)

“He behaves like that with Yubamensch from the Four Heavenly Beast Demihumans-nari!” (Bardo)

“Velt-sama! We shall serve you from the bottom of our hearts ain’t it!” (Jonga)

No, don’t be moved by it you guys over there!

I mean, I shouldn’t be get dragged in this flow…

“Well then, hold on tight, lets go~~~~~~!” (Yubamensch)

“Hah? Heck, DUOAAAAAAAA!”

“Wa, wait hey--!” (Zetsuki)

Then, Maman hold me and Zetsuki under both of his armpits, then dashed energetically.

Heck wait a sec, the air pressure is terrifying! I mean, where do you running to! We gonna crash into the castle at this rate…

“Ohohohohohoho! Ohoho~ noho~~~~!” (Yubamensch)

Impossible…normally we should enter inside the castle and then climbing up the stairs isn’t it? And then, we should go pass through some passage encounter enemies and keep pushing forward, that’s should be the standard for capturing the Demon King castle isn’t it.

So, why are we climbing perpendicularly straight up? Moreover without even using hands. And moreover, in the midst of doing it Yubamensch stopped running but skipping prancing instead!

“Well, no way. It’s like, he is amazing in many ways…” (Velt)

“Hey brat. I’m kind of interested in it but are you going to marry Yubamensch’s daughter?” (Zetsuki)

“Hah? No way! Why ask?” (Velt)

“No, it’s just, you should remember this. Becoming a couple with Yubamensch’s daughter means he got to be your parent in law.” (Zetsuki)

There’s no way I’d let that happen!

No, well it’s impossible. I mean, why is he seeing me with pitying eyes?

“Seems you went through lots of hardships.” (Zetsuki)

“Yeah. That’s why I’m enjoying it.” (Velt)

It feels like, we somehow found everything stupid, and when we realized it we both made a bitter smile.

Maman looked as if humored by our exchange, then started to hum unconcernedly as we climbed up.

“Ufufu, we can see it now.” (Yubamensch)

And then, a view appeared before my eyes, it was as if I was inside a mad world stroke by cataclysm, the fight of an ogre and the heroes with everything as it’s take. There’s no other word that can describe it other than it looks as if the scene out of a mythology.

On the topmost of Hannyala, above a flat stage, the seven heroes and a single ogre were fighting.

Seven against one? Unfair? The monster overthrowing that common sense was there.

“That’s, the Demon King!” (Velt)

There’s no one there that noticed the presence of us three.

That ogre, he isn’t red nor blue. He is yellow. No, the yellow part is only his hair. Unruly hair with the length just till above the shoulder. His body is thin too. Or rather, his body size is the same of ordinary human being.

He wore light equipment, a mantle patterned with lighting and a single colored black pants.

And the weapon he wields isn’t a metal rod but two short swords.

“The king of ogres… is he, really an ogre?” (Velt)

What made me surprised the most is, that the king of ogres doesn’t look like an ogre at all.

There are two horns sprouting out of his head but his appearance is close to human. No, more than that, isn’t he young? Strangely young. I thought Zetsuki’s partner should be easily in their forties or fifties but I can’t see him other than being in the latter half of his teen?

Moreover, he has uselessly handsome features like an ikemen, isn’t his face make a good match against Roa!

What the hell is he?

“That ogre demon is of a race that’s different from other races. Once, a child with the blood of a human slave, he then awakened to something like a mutation. He is of the ogre-man race! As for his age, maybe around seventy years?” (Yubamensch)

A child of human slave? Is he like that Lagaia from the cyclops? Heck, Seventy! Isn’t he a geezer already!

Does he someone that has the perpetual youth which is even rare in this world?

There are so many things to be surprised about.

“Fufufu, you aren’t half bad, foolish humans.”

And then, as if pleased with the fight against the heroes, Demon King Kishin spoke out.

With his expression and voice full of majesty…

“Good passion you have. My mind can fly high after such a long time. This battle will become one of the legends, and you all will forever be saved inside my memory. Now, come on! My babies!”

……right from the beginning, he unleashed an amazing surprise attack like a dynamite punch.

Note: Kishin here speak in almost full Japanized English. Hmm, can’t really come up with someone similar to him in anime but they do exist.
