Chapter 145 Excuse Me, Forna san… You’re Scary…

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

“Because of the declaration of the end of the war made by Demon King Kishin and Zetsuki from the Six Great Ogre Demon General, the dissatisfaction among their soldiers exploded! And now they’re taking stance to attack us while being prepared to be executed later on!”

Like Milco has said. He won’t be able to stop them.

And I was too naive about my thoughts regarding that matter. Are they thinking something like, ‘we won’t be able to accept it if we don’t fight`?

“Roa! As expected we shouldn’t put our trust in them! If we don’t prepare to intercept them, it will be us who are going to be annihilated instead!” (Leville)

“Aah, this is so sad. Like I expect, we won’t be able to understand each other.” (Gyanza)

Having seen what’s happening, the soldiers once again got aroused.

To think that things that should have sorted out by Maman’s words, are now being destroyed by the enemy’s side, it’s completely out of expectations.

“Let’s do this! We will completely wipe out those ogre bastards!”

“Hey, get in your positions! We will make those ogres regretting this!”

Aah, things should have ended, the war that everyone should have wanted to end, is being restarted by the will of each and every one of them.

“Stop this! The enemy still hasn’t attacked, I won’t allow the attack to start from our side!” (Roa)

“Look at the reality, Roa! If we don’t attack, it will be us that will get attacked!” (Leville)

“No! stop, Murata-kun… Believe in Kishin!” (Arusha)

“Princess Arusha. We can’t stop anymore.” (Gyanza)

“Roa! Arusha! I’m sorry… however, as I expect we have to fight!”

“As if we’d let those guys done us in!”

Even in the Ten Heroes of Light the only ones against it were only Roa and Ayase.

When the enemy started to show movements the other guys immediately showing signs of resistance.

“Aa~~~~~~n mou! This is why I hate i~~~~~t, the war!” (Yubamensch)

While Maman was saying that he flew out. To where?

To the center of the wilderness. The center where both armies are going to face each other.

“Maman! Could it be, could it be he’s trying to stop it!” (Velt)

It’s useless! If he’s going to face against both of the armies, then the tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides will attack, there’s no way Maman can stop them against that many.

“Don’t falter! We will step over Yubamensh from the Four Heavenly Beast Demihumans!”

“The human race absolutely won’t perish! We will definitely protect our family, friends, and comrades!”

“ “ “ “ “ “ OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!” “ “ “ “ “”

We can’t stop them anymore.

And then, similar roar also can be heard from the side of the enemy too. Milco… you also failed?

“This, shiiiiiiit!” (Velt)

When I realized it I was flying. I can’t stop them. But, I can’t let Maman do it by himself!

“VEEEEEEEEEELT!”

However, Forna caught up to me who was flying with lightning speed.

“Forna! Let me go, at this rate things will go past the point of turning back!” (Velt)

“No, I won’t! I absolutely won’t let go! No, no, absolutely nooooooooo!” (Forna)

“For… na…” (Velt)

“I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go I won’t let go ……I wooooooon’t!” (Forna)

Forna she… the Forna who always prideful and dignified Forna, got deranged and sobbing as if she was a child,

“He, hey, calm down, Forna! Moreover, this isn’t the time to be doing this……” (Velt)

“What with the demihuman! What with the ogre demon race! These kinds of things… it’s better to just leave them alone!” (Forna)

I, heard unbelievable words coming out from Forna’s mouth.

“You can understand it right! We can’t do anything anymore! We can only fight! However, you don’t need to be bothered by it! You’ve exhaust all of your strength. And then saved many people. So why, why do you need to do more than this!” (Forna)

“This stupid girl! Even you can see it yourself! You also know my circumstances! The guy I was once buddy with, even stopped trying to kill you. And all of that only for this, there’s no way I can ignore it!” (Velt)

“No! just ignore it! Because you are Velt Jeeha… please, stop reverting back into Asakura Ryuuma!” (Forna)

My chest got unexpectedly hurt by those words…

“Please, don’t. Despite I keep on fighting for the sake to protect the future where I can walk with you… despite I’ve worked so hard that I sacrificed the time where I can be with you…you just then suddenly appear… saved everyone, stopped the war… but, despite that you might die with just one wrong step! And then, at the long end of that, you made friends with Kishin, and with Asakura Ryuuma’s face, only speaking about Asakura Ryuuma’s memories, leaving me out in the cold…” (Forna)

Forna spoke everything about me.

However, on the contrary she might be seeing me preferring my life as Asakura Ryuuma rather than my life as Velt Jeeha. And then, as a result of me preferring my life as Asakura Ryuuma, I might ended up being hurt. Or maybe ended up can’t return back. Or maybe die.

That must be what makes Forna unable to stand it anymore.

“Hey, Velt!”

“Velt, Princess!”

“Velt!”

“Velt-kun!”

As the Great Human Alliance Army shouted their will to make a resistance, starting from Shout and Barts, my old friends rushed over to under me and Forna. And then, with eyes just like Forna, they hold onto my shoulder.

“Velt, regardless of what happen, I won’t ask why you have connections with Zetsuki, Demon King Kishin, and then Yubamensch. However, I beg you, please don’t go!”

Shout…

“You, for the sake of stopping this war, you’re planning to go to the very center of it, right? Stop it, I absolutely won’t let you do that kind of sh*t!”

Barts…

“Stupid bastard. I don’t care your circumstances anymore. But, if you set aside the Princess, I’m gonna absolutely kick your ass!”

Ship…

“Velt-kun. Please, don’t push yourself anymore.”

Chetto…

“Why? Why Velt-kun want to do that kind of thing?”

Sanne…

“You, didn’t you already made trouble with General Gyanza in the Empire? You’re a hero, a hero of human Race! Isn’t it enough already?”

Hawk…

“Velt-kun! Don’t do it, don’t do any more than this! The Princess, and also we… please think of how Bonapa-san and the others would think of this too!”

Garba…

I don’t know why am I should be doing something like that but, it’s because I know that I should be doing something that these guys got flustered and rushed over.

This war is already unstoppable. That’s why, please don’t do anything unreasonable. Everyone was saying that.

However, it was at that time.

“Velt. The reason why you’re working so hard even do something so unreasonable is… because you know the truth of the world, isn’t it?”

It was only one person, Howe asked me with a calm tone.

“Howe? What are you saying?”

Without knowing the meaning of Howe’s words, Forna and others asked. Howe was staring straight at me.

“Answer it, Velt. You… Know about what’s coming after the end of the war, and about the Divine Race too right?” (Howe)

“…… Howe… you bastard, why do you know…” (Velt)

“Velt, answer it. Knowing that truth, you want to fight to protect the world isn’t it?” (Howe)

I was stopped for an instant by that question. Why Howe know about that?

I don’t know the answer to that question. However, in exchange for that, I can answer to these questions;

Why do I fight?

Because I know about the Divine Race and the truth of the world?

“That’s stupid.” (Velt)

“Then, why?” (Howe)

It’s different. It has nothing to do with Tyler’s story.

The reason I’m moving now is…

“Howe… hey, Forna, if it was… Asakura Ryuuma he’d run off and stay unrelated with all of this. However, as I live in this world, meeting all you guys, and then seen a lot of things, it’s exactly because I’m Velt Jeeha that I must go!”(Velt)

Aah, the me in the past will just say not interested or those are just stupid and stay out of this. But Velt Jeeha is different. I’m not reverting back to Asakura Ryuuma. The reason I ended up moving here, it’s exactly because I became the person called Velt Jeeha that I make my move.

“Velt………” (Forna)

Then, Forna let go my arm that she strongly cling to, and now kindly clasped my hand.

And then…

“Velt, in the Empire, and then even now, you always come for me despite the far distance between us. That’s why, this time it’s my turn to come for you.” (Forna)

“Forna?” (Velt)

“I won’t let you go alone. So if you still want to go, I will go together with you.” (Forna)

We will be together when we die… its as if she is saying that.

However, Forna is serious. That tender smile isn’t one from the Ten Heroes of Light neither is it from the princess of a kingdom, it was the smile she had always shown, the simple smile of a girl.

Somehow, by seeing that I feel a lot of things became weird.

“I’m being loved huh…… this me…” (Velt)

“You’ve known it for ten years already right?” (Forna)

Fine then. I grasped Forna’s hand tightly.

“Let’s go together!” (Velt)

“Yes, the two of us will be the strongest without peer!” (Forna)

I pulled Forna’s hand, and then with Forna by my side, we two flew pass the Great Human Alliance Army.

“Princess!”

“Velt-kun!”

Without looking back to the crying voices of my friends, me and Forna flew faster than anyone…

“……… Big brother…… entrust this to me.” (Arusha)

“Arusha! What are you going to do!” (Roa)

“… Aah, that, fuuuh… you guys, even in this situation you guys still want to flirt around… fine alright… I don’t want the bitter experience of my classmates to kill each other anymore! I can’t let this pass just because something like for looking at the big picture! Don’t think of me as so naive!” (Arusha)

On the side of me and Forna, who should have been running faster than anyone else, there was someone…

“You’re going to stop, Asakura-kun. No matter what happens.” (Arusha)

It was Ayase.

“Arusha, you!” (Forna)

“Ayase…” (Velt)

With not a speck of hesitation, Ayase is running beside me with face as if about to burst, and when I realized it she was already on my empty side and holding onto my hand. And then, with expression mixed with a bit of mischief she laughed.

“Wait, you!” (Forna)

“It’s like that, Forna. From here on, it’s fine if you can just leave it to me and Asakura-kun. That’s right, me and Asakura-kun also Murata-kun. It is something that only us can understand, the bond that only us share…” (Arusha)

“Aaaaah! Stop it, Velt is Velt! He is not Asakura Ryuuma! And you let go of his hand!” (Forna)

These guys… at this kind of time… However, what is this, this feeling.

“Ain’t this bad.” (Velt)

“Fufu, I wonder why. Despite we’re in this despairing crisis…”

“That’s right, it’s very mysterious. It makes me feel like able to do this somehow!”

With our feelings going to the heights, we flew off from the Great Human Alliance Army, then we go down to the center of the both armies where Maman was standing alone.

“Aran? My my, such a cute reinforcements~.” (Yubamensch)

“Maman! Don’t do something reckless! If something were to happen to Maman, I won’t be able to face Biyama!” (Velt)

“Yubamensch, I haven’t heard about the circumstance. But in this place… hey, wait a minute, Asakura-kun. Why suddenly mentioned about Biyama-san here?” (Arusha)

“Aaaaaah! Again! It’s talk about Asakura Ryuuma again, please just have it enough already!” (Forna)

However, it’s not the time to be talking so carefreely. We have four people here. And on the left and right of us there was the Great Human Alliance Army, and then Hell Demon Kingdom Army.

“ “ “ “ “ “ “ “ “ATTAAAAAAAAAAAACKK!!!!” “ “ “ “ “ “ “ “

And finally, both armies who were already ignoring their own leaders’ decisions and orders, started their attack for the sake of protecting their own resentment. Even if we screamed to stop them with all our strength, our voices will just get drown out.

From the perspective these two armies, there was only a part of them that can see the figure of us four.

Then, what should we do?

It’s all good that we’ve come here, but what can we do?

However, it was at that time.

“It’s alrighty, Vel-chan. You are actually…… waiting for something!” (Yubamensch)

As if answering to Maman’s words, it happened in that next very instant!

“Wha, what the!”

All of a sudden, the ground where we were standing was glittering with blue, a pillar of light that can even reach for the heavens appeared.

Is this a magic circle?

“Wha, what is this!”

“What in the world is happening!”

We saw the light that is spreading out into the world, as expected even the two raging armies stopped their movements without really understanding it.

And then from inside the light…

“Fuh, I can also use it though it’s not to the extent of Mannie’s but, using this metastasis magic…… as expected with this many people it consumed extensive amount of my magic, it also used a vast amount of time to chanting it too…”

That person, appeared before us with quite exhausted look on his face, as he was on one of his knee.

“You are… wh, why!”

“Wait, hey!”

Me and Forna was surprised seeing that figure.

“I’m glad we made it in time. Velt…… Princess Forna.”

It was Tyler.

The person who appeared along with the radiation of magic power was Tyler.

“I can’t fucking grasp the situation. What kind of sh*tty development is this? Hah? Stupid little brother and sister.”

“Farga!” (Velt)

“Nii-sama!” (Forna)

Note: sooo… I kinda want to keep the way they call people other than with -san suffix to be used as it is in Japanese. Or maybe I should translate it into Big Brother-sama? Arusha called her brother as onii-san so I translated it into BIg Brother.Or maybe I should just use onii-san too? Which one felt better?

Farga…

“Veeeeeeeeeelt! Uwaaaaaaaaah!”

“Loooooooooord! Looooooooooord!”

“Ura! Musashi!”

“Ura, you’re here too!”

As they were crying aloud, Ura and Musashi flew over to me.

“You made us worried, that’s not good little brother-kun♪”

“Brooooooo, you made me so worried that I can’t eat any rice you know----!”

“Cleran! Dora!”

“What’s the meaning of this! Why, Tyler and you guys all here!” (Forna)

Cleran poked me a bit. And Dora was crying with it’s big body on the battlefield. Both of the armies got completely stopped by the dragon that suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

“Uwaaah, I mean, this totes impossible, why I came here? He~y, Maman, Asakura~, I totes just got dragged along.”

“Ara, even you came here?” (Yubamensch)

“Heck, Biyama!” (Velt)

“Hah… Velt, who is this person! And moreover a dark elf!” (Forna)

“Eh, hey, Asakura-kun! Just, just now, you said Biyama?” (Arusha)

And somehow, Biyama also came…

“Uwaah, why do we also came?”

“We got permission from the Chief. There’s no problem at all. Mushashi also worried after all.”

“Why even us came here!”

“Moreover they’re in a pinch!”

“Got dragged nano!”

Heck they’re Shinsengumi’s Sorushi and Toushi, also the three sisters!

And then…

“Velt-sama! I’m glad you’re alright…”

“Uo, wooooh, Eljela!” (Velt)

“………………Velt…… she is…… who is she?” (Forna)

“……………………Asakura-kun, what’s the meaning of this?” (Arusha)

Even Eljela came. She got dragged into this kind of dangerous place.

She should have been left in their care properly sigh…

“Hora, Cosmos. It’s your Papa.” (Eljela)

“Daaa! Bunpa! Paaaaa!” (Cosmos)

“Geez, this place is dangerous, don’t just go and come along.” (Velt)

“……………………………Ah?” (Forna)

“……………………………Hah?” (Arusha)

Even Cosmos here.

Geez, we only just got separated for a few days, but this reunion feels so assuring.

They’re just a few people. However, when one see the huge radiating light, furthermore the enormous Dora, and Farga’s group who just appeared, even the two armies got surprised and started shouting.

“ “ “ “ “ “Wha……wha, what the hell are they!!!!” “ “ “ “ “

The voices of humans and ogres simultaneously assembled. It’s such a mysterious thing. Despite only a few people got added up, I no longer able to feel any fear at all.

I don’t think everything as scary anymore.

“Geez, these guys, they suddenly appeared as if they’ve planned it out.”

With these guys here, there’s nothing to fear.

And with us meeting together, what the thing I scared about is…

“Papa? ……………………V…elt?……………………right?” (Forna)

“……………Asakura-kun? Hey, hey, hey………… To think I’d still get affected by illusion, I’m still quite lacking…… that doll… looked very exquisite and cute isn’t it.” (Arusha)

Somehow the two princesses looked at me with sick eyes that almost can kill.

I mean, Cosmos isn’t a doll, she’s a real baby.

Now, how am I supposed to get past this approaching storm.
