Konjiki no Moji Tsukai Chapter 182

182nd Episode – Passion Raid

Two People wearing black robes entered 【Passion】. While looking at 【Passion】’s symbol, the 《Tree of Beginnings – Aragorn》, one of them wore an eerie face, distorting his mouth’s corners.

—

—

　In this connection, the one that had been eerily laughing just now was the person with the cross-sign.

—

—

　The cross-marked person imposingly spoke with burning sarcasm.

—

—

　However the square-marked person doesn’t answer. Although their true identity couldn’t be confirmed as their faces are concealed under a hood, judging from his voice the crossed one is male.

—

—

　Then he noticed two soldiers approaching as they grew suspicious towards the intruders.

—

—

　He said those words somehow delighted.

—

「Oyoyo～y, what strange bullshit, why should I show you my noble true face? Aah?」(X)

—

—

「Suspicious guy! Remove that hood, Now!」(Soldier)

「Nh？ How often will you tell me that I came now?」

—

—

「There～fo～re～…….. you did come after all～」(X)

「……Kehaha.」(X) ((Ok, forget about Leo’s laughter giving me the shivers.))

—

—

　The soldiers head suddenly whirled through the air. And the headless body collapsed. A blood spray sprinkled from the sky whilst the head came falling down.

—

—

「Well, I guess I did tell him that he came～…… that homicidal impulse of mine, though～」(X)

—

—

「Aah, that’s good as well. Now, shouldn’t we quickly finish our job here?」(X)

—

—

「Kehaha!　Gimme more～! Give me even more of that comforting voice!」(X)

—

—

「That’s right, shout～! And remember～! Washing blood with blood, this massacre is a serious thiiiiiiiiiiing～! Kehahahahahahaha!」(X)

—

—

「Whaaat～? That foolish peace is nothing but a mask～………. Kehaha, oh well. I’ll remind you in case you forgot it～.」(X)

—

—

「This is a world of the survival of the fitteeeeest～!」(X)

—

—

—

—

—

—

　The royal family lived in the 《Kings tree》, where the wife of Beast-king Leowald, Branza, working in the office, was currently raising her voice in surprise as a maid suddenly barged in without even knocking.

—

—

「Branza-sama…..the country……… the country is……」(Maido)

—

　And after the maid has taken a deep breath –

—

「Naa?!」(Bran)

—

—

　Here and there arose smoke from local fires, and not few people had collapsed to the ground, bleeding.

—

—

　As she was taken aback, feeling as if she were dreaming –

—

「eh?」(Bran)

—

—

　Suddenly two people held a fierce battle behind, waking her from daydreaming. One of those two was a person all too well known to Branza.((TL: 鍔迫り合い → instead of “fierce battle”, it’s rather a locking of swords in a duel, pushing forward with one’s strength. Rather hard to include, though.))

「Raive!」(Bran)

—

—

「Chi!」(hooded person)

—

—

「Huh, and even though I tried to kill that woman there at grea～t pain…」(X)

—

—

「How dare you, to stop that sort of blow of mine – but well, I have to praise you a litt～le bit at least～」(X)

—

—

「Raive! Your hands!?」(Bran)

—

—

「Kehaha! I think you can be grateful that your arm still remains～!」(X)

—

—

　Thence one could easy understand that this guy was a man of outstanding ability.

—

—

　She thought that if it was just an ordinary attack, it wouldn’t have left a single scratch on Raive. However, probably she would easily get injured if that man truly went serious and hit her. Moreover, she already used the kitchen knives as defense in spite of that.

—

—

　Raive puts a cigar to her lips, not showing even a single sign of pain on her face. Even as she probably feels considerable pain, she apparently still conducted her mind to the well-being of Branza.

—

「You are the queen! And now we stand against this enemy, but myself and the maid, we will even put our life in line in order to protect our master’s life.」(Ray)

—

　Thereupon, a clapping sound can be heard from the man as he applauds her.

—

「As if I’d believe such a thing!」(Ray)

—

—

「The truth is～, I just came to do the job. Moreover, killing the queen just entered the plan～」

—

　Branza muttered.

—

—

　Branza made big eyes, her mouth getting dry in an instant.

—

—

　Raive frowns as she also didn’t know anything about this.

—

—

　Thus, as Branza finally discovers some sort of breathtaking information, she gets taken aback.

—

「Branza-sama?」(Raive)

—

—

「Kehaha, that’s right, It’s me……」(Me) ((seriously, it’s dumb to introduce yourself with “I’m just me.”…….. wait, I did that myself not too long ago…))

　The man raised his arm to remove the hood, exposing his true face to them. And then Branza’s expectation was fulfilled, leaving her at a loss of words similar to terror as her concerns became firm.

—

—

「…..Kokurou.」(Branza)

—
　As he heard Branza’s murmur, a grin slowly began to crease on the face of the man called Kokurou.
