Chapter 146 Bought Out

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Voices could be heard from some places.

“Hey hey, wait a sec! When I see it closely each one of them are incredible people!”

“Wha what the! Why do they suddenly come… moreover they all appear together!”

“Farga… Why is that guy here?”

“Hey! They’re from Shinsengumi, God of Warrior Isamu’s right hand and left hand, Sorushi and Toushi!”

Note: I believe I translated his title as God of Martial Arts before, but that is kinda wrong. His title is 武神(Bushin) means god of military arts in Jsho. Kinda lengthy so I translate it into God of Warrior now.

“Papa! Wh, what’s Papa doing here?” (Shout)

“Isn’t that, the machine dragon!”

“A birdman? That’s wrong, that is, could it be…… could it be, the Sky Race from the legends!”

“There’s even dark elf you know?”

These are words that they never used even once ever since they were born. They know the meaning but there’s no instance of using it. But, the thing I’m afraid of is a situation like this. That’s why I’m gonna say it.

“It’s so chaotic huh.” (Velt)

The ones who nodded to that word were Farga, Maman, Tyler, Sorushi, Toushi, and Cleran.

And after that, the chaos intensified, it’s not the time for that though.

“Uwaa, aaaa, Velt! Velt! Please, please, I, I, the moment you went away, just how much! Just how much I was at a loss!” (Ura)

“Ueeeee, looooord, sessha, hic, if sessha not with you……” (Musashi)

Note: err, well I’ll just keep Musashi using sessha for her characteristic. Sessha means “I”anyway.

“Velt-sama… Aah! My Velt-sama! My and Cosmos’ Velt-sama!” (Eljela)

“Burryu, opaa! Dada, baa!” (Cosmos)

“Ahaha, I mean the heck? Asakura, when I think that you’d gone disappear, what the heck are you doing, really.” (Althea)

“Broooo, broooo, I, I, was so worriiiieed!” (Dora)

Ura and Musashi hugged me like they’re koalas.

With a bit of tears in the corner of her eyes, Eljela came closer to me smilingly, while Cosmos was drumming my cheeks with peshi peshi.

And the crying Dora…… hey, wait. How can you making tears? What are you using for making it?

“……………………………………………………Velt……………………………………………………………………………, this wom, who is this lady might be? And whose child is this very cute baby? Nee, why are you turning away your eyes from me? Nee, Velt, nee, nee, nee?” (Forna)

“……………… Seems you have a ventriloquist as your new comrade huh. You’re always surprising us like that. Well despite so, its not like I hate it, but do you know what a limit means?” (Arusha)

Somehow, Forna and Ayase were looking at me like a robot devoid of expression, but it’s not the time for that.

“You came at the right time, Ura!” (Velt)

“Hic sob, uuh, wha, what?” (Ura)

“Come with me, and raise your hand.” (Velt)

I pulled Ura’s hand as her face was still disheveled, then shouted.

“You guys! We are here! Your Ura is here!” (Velt)

Ura tilted her head in puzzlement.

Don’t worry, Ura. Your tears of joy by meeting with me will become an even more joyful tears.

And then, the moment I shouted with loud voice, they came in pushing through the troops of the Great Human Alliance Army, the thousands of soldiers then started to appear before us.

They’re not humans, but demons.

“Hm? Velt, what is this……… eh……” (Ura)

Ura became speechless. Her whole body trembled strongly.

Even now that group of demons that ran closer to us was still maintaining their formation without being disordered, they advanced one at a time, grandly, and keep proceeding closer.

“It can’t be… … It can’t be… because, everyone has, Velt, because…… that time… right? Velt!” (Ura)

“It’s real. They’re your everyone.” (Velt)

As I said that I hit Ura’s back lightly.

What they’re wearing are prisoner uniforms. However, their conduct and the manner they’re marching was magnificent, they’re truly the soldiers under the direct order of the king.

And then, as they marched forward until right before our eyes, without even a slight mistake, they got on one knee and lowered their heads.

“Princess Ura. We’re the surviving Royal Guards of the Vesparda Demon Kingdom. Please forgive our discourtesy for we’ve stayed away from your side for too long. We are, now, have returned.”

At the head of them who were lowering their heads were Rumba’s group.

As they spoke that, their lips trembled, they endured their feelings of wanting to jump close, they clenched their fist so hard that can even make it bleed.

And in response to that what Ura is going to do?

In these five years Ura has been away from the position of a king, she just lived as an ordinary girl. However, even so right now she answered to them with a single sentence as her lips trembled.

“Everyone…… you all did well, with coming, back.” (Ura)

Her face was already a mess.

As Ura was like that I strongly pushed her back, and in the next moment she broke into a run, running towards her everyone’s place.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAh! UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH” (Ura)

“URA-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” (Rumba)

“Ura-sama! Ura-sama! Ura-sama!” (Bardo)

“I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m glad you’re fine!” (Jonga)

They thought they’d never be able to meet anymore, the reunion after five years.

“Velt, what is this Papa about?” (Forna)

“Nee, Asakura, Nee.” (Forna)

With her heart kindled, Ura cried as she smiled.

“Veeelt, everyone! My everyone! Everyone!” (Ura)

“Yeah! They’re your everyone!” (Velt)

I don’t understand what Ura was saying but I can understand what she’s trying to say. I nodded at that.

“Ura-sama, in these five years we were imprisoned by the Hell Demon Kingdom. But, but! We were saved by Velt-sama!” (Rumba)

“So that’s what happened… Velt has, saved everyone!” (Ura)

It was just a coincidence. It was just pure luck that I was in that place, Being praised by that is kinda awkward.

“Ura-sama. From today onwards we will once again serve Ura-sama until the end of our lives. No, Ura-sama and……… also Velt-sama who we owe a great debt to!” (Rumba)

“ “ “ “ “ Together with Ura-sama and Velt-sama, until the end of our lives!!!!! “ “ “ “ “

Regaining back the master who once lost, Rumba and everyone from the Vesparda Demon Kingdom Army shouted out with voices that shake the heavens and earth.

And as a third army with the highest possible morale that appeared suddenly right in the center of enemy’s army, they shocked both humans and ogres.

“That’s right, everyone. Please be quiet. I know you might already know about him but, I will introduce him once again with my own words.” (Ura)

Ura wiped her tears and grasped my hand with a tense face.

“Everyone, this man is Velt Jeeha. A friend of my father, the one who saved my life, and always be on my side even till this day…… he is the one who will become my husband. Well, he has a few lovers but don’t put that into mind.” (Ura)

Geez, she went and stirred things up…

“Velt, why do you don’t want to look into my eyes since a while ago?” (Forna)

“Mou, that’s not good Asakura-kun. If you keep continuing playing as a daddy like this, you might be won’t be able to stop it anymore without realizing it you know?” (Arusha)

Aah, I’m not listening to anything.

What’s important right now is the reunion of these guys and the new oath they took.

They will never let go of each other’s hands anymore. They will absolutely never part from each other anymore.

“Hey, Uraura, by the way, in that lovers you mentioned, is it also includes me?” (Althea)

“Ara, isn’t it lovely, Ura-san. So that’s how it is, Ura-san is Velt-sama’s bride, correct? Then, would it be fine if I were to be Velt-sama’s madam?” (Eljela)

Ooh, it’s not merely adding oil to the fire it’s more like pumping nitroglycerin into it instead, that Biyama and Eljela.

I mean despite Biyama not actually riding along into it, she’s still laughing it out.

“………hey, Asakura” (Forna)

“Oh my, what could this be? Is there anything you wish to say about this? CheatingKura-kun.” (Arusha)

“……………this black one is Biyama.” (Velt)

“Hah? Hey, Asakura! She, she is, is she Ayase? That, stuck up girl.” (Althea)

“Yeah.” (Velt)

“Listen here, Asakura-kun. What are you trying to play the fool for… eh, Biyama-san? Then, this person is really Biyama-san?” (Arusha)

Now its fine with this.

“Nee, Velt? Nee, Velt? I believe in you. You should be feeling guilty right. Nee…… it’s like that right?” (Forna)

“Tyler! What should we with this situation? It really saved us that you brought a lot of allies and we have some thousands of Ura’s comrades here. But do we can really stop both armies that numbered exceeding tens of thousands?” (Velt)

I said it decisively. I’m not trying to play the fool. It’s just, it’s not the time for that right now.

That’s right, it’s not just excuse…… no, it won’t be a problem at all if I explain it properly.

“What, it’s not a problem at all, Velt. It’s enough with them being bewildered by our presence.” (Tyler)

It’s enough? Well, it’s true that the appearance of a group of thousands that they don’t know whether they are allies or enemies will bring intimidation. Moreover, if you look closely person by person, there are lots of famous people that each can match a thousand.

“The saying about scared out of their wits really fit this situation isn’t it.”

At that moment, from the stopped Great Human Alliance Army, a single knight came forward. That man, despite everyone else was still bewildered by the situation and can’t help but being astounded, his face was full of bitter smile.

“Roa!”

Roa, wait, It’s dangerous!”

“Prince Roa!”

However, Roa smiled as if saying it’s alright then slowly came forward. And then, there’s also movement from the Hell Demon Kingdom Army.

“It’s terrible isn’t it.”

It’s Milco. In spite of the bitter smile of the Hero, the king of ogre demons was laughing loudly. Moreover, that expression somehow looks happy.

“Demon King-sama!”

“Kishin-sama, it’s dangerous! They are people we don’t know the nature of, and moreover those human cowards, what are they trying to do!”

“Please, step back!”

And then, Milco once again told his subordinates who were worrying about him to calm down, and coming forward alone.

This is really the three-way deadlock situation. As everyone was unable to move, the one to first raised their voice was Roa.

“My name is Roa Arclain! People call me the True (Neo) Hero Roa!” (Roa)

Against that self-introduction, Milco followed in sort.

“My name is Kishin Jigoku! Everybody called me, Rock Demon King Kishin!” (Kishin)

Note: …I should have expected this… the name of royal family usually used as the name of the Kingdom… should I change the name of Hell Demon Kingdom into Jigoku Demon Kingdom? Sigh nah, I’ll just stick with Kingdom name into English one.

And why is he looking here now? It’s as if he’s saying it’s our turn next.

Rather than that, hey Tyler. It’s your turn to state your name here.

Hey! Why are you urging me to it! Why me!

“Velt” (Tyler)

“Stupid little brother. State it.” (Farga)

“Asakura, stop being so dull.” (Althea)

“Go! Little brother-kun!” (Cleran)

“Lord! Please be generous.” (Musashi)

“Velt, I’ll support you.” (Ura)

“Bro, go get ‘em!” (Dora)

“Come, Cosmos, you should see your Papa’s cool action.” (Eljela)

Hah? Wait a sec, why the hell they just keep talking about it as if I’m the leader?

I mean, why are you guys so much getting into it?

How about Mannie? Why the hell the suggestion made by that idiot Kagami still alive and kicking even now!

Where’s that Mannie? I should make her correct this out…

“Velt? Nee. Nee, nee, what did she mean by Papa…” (Forna)

“My name is Velt Jeeha! Velt the Remote Control! You better remember it!” (Velt)

This stupid sh*t.

First of all, I should make my resolve for walking in this path of no return.

And then, as Tyler nodded to my sh*tty nick name, Tyler stepped forward.

“For the both parties involved, fighting in the war more than this will just make your sacrifices far too large. Both the Great Human Alliance and the Hell Demon Kingdom shouldn’t just always advance forward, but also try to turn back.” (Tyler)

Not understanding the meaning of Tyler’s words, the battlefield started to become noisy.

Turn back? What is he talking about?

“According to the information we managed to obtain from Shinsengumi and Underworld Demon Kingdom. The understaffed Human Continent and Hell Demon Kingdom has shown some movements of unrest.” (Tyler)

An all out war of both armies. If that happens then of course the homebase would become empty. Well it’s not that empty but if many of the Ten Heroes of Light and Six Great Ogre Demon Generals are to participate in the war, other factions wouldn’t be able to stop their hands from reaching out.

“Without even earning anything, this war might just become a total lose. However, the lost lives wouldn’t be in vain. It is because in this all or nothing war, you won’t end up becoming nothing. However, if you still want to fight further to make everything turn into nothing, that in itself will not bear any fruits and will just make the lost of lives become pointless.” (Tyler)

That renew the memories of when the Empire was attacked for the Great Human Alliance Army, and became a threat for the Hell Demon Kingdom Army who was taken aback.

However, what’s gonna happen if they still unconvinced?

“At this opportunity the representative of the demihumans, Yubamensch, will do the mediation as a third party, making the both parties to do a ceremony of reconciliation.” (Tyler)

However, the route to the goal has unexpectedly been drawn already.

“Of course, I don’t mean this without a price! Rock Demon King Kishin-dono, True Hero Roa-dono. In this war, in case you’ve earned some victories I wish you would let go of the approximate territorial and material gains you’ve received. Furthermore, I wish you to compensate the enlisted soldiers and give them rewards, and also give reparations to the nobles whose soldiers have died. Once you have done that, the big organization Love and Peace will pay the double the approximate amount of gold you’ve calculated for you!” (Tyler)

-------------------------!!!

“ “ “ “ “ “ “ Wha, double amount of gold!!!!” “ “ “ “ “ “

You wanna buy our great cause with money? As expected even those who wanted to pridefully shout that out got silenced by the grandness of the scale of this discussion, everyone would.

The heck, to compensate the countries and tens of thousands of soldiers, and so nonchalantly to pay double the amount of money for them, just how big…… I mean, is this organization really have that much money! Just how much they have in store?

“Do, double… even if we don’t fight like this…”

“Idiot, it’s not about money! No matter how much money I get, if I don’t kill humans here…”

“But, but hey… that gonna make Yubamensch and Tyler into our enemies… or we can just take the money and go home safely…”

The ogres started to get shaken. What to say, money is really great huh. By the common sense of another world, it can make matters and fate bend to it. I mean, Kagami. Just how much you’ve profited from this organization?

Just by moving that money’s power, it can even shake those resolutely determined ogres…

“No. ……… Make it triple. If it’s triple I’ll consider this a deal.” (Kishin)

“ “ “ “ “ “ “Tri……… triple!!!” “ “ “ “ “

Mi, Milco, said… triple! Somehow, when I was still surprised he just nonchalantly said something crazy like that!

However, even with that huge scale scam on going, Tyler still made a slight smile.

“Well, even you would lose face if you just accept the first negotiation so easily……I understand, it will be paid!” (Tyler)

He, he- he accepted it!

No, it is as Tyler said, if he just go home meekly after accepting the amount of money that was told, it will be Milco himself who’s gonna lose face. However, with overcharging it like this he will be able to maintain some honor. But despite so, he just so easily accepted triple… I mean, to think that organization leader letting it happen, what the hell Kagami is thinking!

I…… can I really just stand around here? ……this confusing situation is making me even wanted to shout my grumbles.

“What do you think? Prince Roa. By results, the Demon King army will withdraw, and you will be able to splendidly protect the territory. Furthermore, I also shall promise the same compensation as was stated just now.” (Tyler)

And then, Roa made quite the bitter expression on his face.

“Tyler-sama. I…… truly don’t like that way of doing it. That day, yesterday, and then the same with today too, the promises and desires all can be changed with money……” (Roa)

“Certainly that way of seeing it is something that cannot be helped. However, please don’t view it as something vulgarly greedy, but think of it as something you all deservingly need to receive.” (Tyler)

Aah, its not like I can’t understand why Roa think of it so complicatedly. It’s a world that I can’t understand but this is something like the guys who were putting up front to look honorable getting bought out with money.

Of course, they’re not bought out by half assed amount of money, but what Tyler is showing right now is something that very stood out. Its because this is a win win situation where it’s erasing the need of people to fight and die, managing to protect the territory and even able to earn money.

“However, if you still can’t accept it… be it Gyanza, or anyone else, you can come at us without reserve! At that time, you will not be met with the power of money but the strength of us all!” (Tyler)

Tyler shouted as he unsheathed his holy sword. Maman and others chuckled from behind. Everyone understood it. Which one has the better worth among them.

And the same goes for Gyanza. Even if she is a maniac hero, it’s exactly she is a pro at fighting, it’s exactly because she understand what’s gonna happen if she make enemies out of us that she doesn’t say a word.

Seeing that situation, it can’t be helped that Roa nodded.

“I understand! This end war agreement shall be approved under the name of Hero Roa! All troops, immediately lay down your weapons! The war has ended!” (Roa)

And at this moment, the war has truly ended.

“Nee, Velt…………… enough already, listen to what I say.” (Forna)

And yet, my shuraba still hasn’t end.
