Konjiki no Moji Tsukai Chapter 187

187th episode – Towards the final fight

—

—

「……phew, really, but that was just as to be expected from Ornoth-sama.」(Rush)

—

—

　It really wasn’t like Yuhito was a warrior like his companion, but after both of them finished he still was the one unhurt in the end. In any case, his chest was swelled with pride at the thought of Ornoth rushing away.

—

—

　Indulging in such sentimental thoughts, although he didn’t dare to read the mood Yuhito’s laughter echoed.

—

—

　Even though he didn’t get to experience a dangerous opponent like Aquinas or Marione, he bore a quite different, eerie feeling. It truly differed from standing on stage. Anyway, he seemed to have been made to dance from the beginning to the end. ((Lit.: he was manipulated.))

—

—

　It meant that he just played the clown all along. No, probably it was Rushball himself who had been treated as a clown on stage all the time.

—

—

「Nevertheless, it was a very interesting fight!」(Yu)

「Nyohohoho! Somehow Lenion-sama said the exact same thing!」(Yu)

—

—

「Ah, that reminds me – concerning the 《Killer Javelin》.」(Yu)

「Eh? Doesn’t it satisfy you? Mhh～ And I even planned to return it right now.」(Yu)

—

　He involuntarily asked again.

—

「…… you sure?」(Rush) ((I know the grammatically right version would be “are you …” – but.))

「….. even though it’s an heirloom?」(Rush) ((changed it a bit, ‘cuz: question mark.))

—

—

「Nyohohoho! I verbally slipped! But once I am satisfied, don’t you want me to return it as promised?」(Yu)

—

　However, he didn’t expect it to happen. And thus he already prepared himself in case his favored arms wouldn’t come back.

—

—

　Just normally returning would’ve been enough, but he couldn’t possibly say that, so he just stopped talking at this point and returned to Ornoth’ position.

—

—–

—

「Are you all right!」(Regulus)

—

—

「E-evil Aniki…… I’ve completely lost.」(Lenny) ((in case you wondered: Aniki = elder brother.))

—

　Even without Regulus saying it he completely understood and his eyebrows furrowed. With big footsteps their father, the Beast king Leowald, appeared.

—

—

　Deciding in his heart not to excuse himself, he stood straight in front of Leowald and stared at his face. Leowald wore a stern expression as he stared at his son Lenion as well.

—

—

「Two wins, two losses, huh……」(Leo)

—

—

「…… Kuku」(Leo) ((giggling. Manly giggling.))

—

—

「Kukukukukuku」(Leo)

—

—

「Fa-father…….?」(Lenny)

—

—

「Gahahahahahaha!」(Leo)

—

—

「Gahahahahaha! Really, really, two wins and two losses! How interesting!」(Leo) ((battle freak))

—

—

「It’s really easy to understand!」(Leo)

—

　Lenion asked.

—

—

　As Leowald’s mouth’s corners distorted into a grin –

—

「Eh, y-yes……. but I would be more at easy if we were a little stronger……..」(Lenny)

「Eh?」(Lenny)

—

　Splendid. Simply splendid, thought Lenion. This man, his own father, considered the outcome fortunate even though it was mortifying.

—

—

「Father!」(Lenny)

「I myself……… I want to exceed you one day!」(Lenny) ((he says “I” both times – 俺様 vs 俺))

—

—

「I can’t afford to perform simply good in front of you as well!」(Reggy) ((I.e: challenge accepted!))
「Gahaha! That’s what makes you sons of mine!」(Leo)

　Nevertheless, Lenion was smiling as he now looked at Regulus.

—

「Hey, idiot! I might as well consider fighting my little brother seriously hereupon!」(Reggy)

—

—

「……. Next it’s big brother’s turn. Can I rely on you?」(Lenny)

「Rest assured, both of you. Don’t you know that I will go out in this last one as well?」(Leo) ((originally there is no “don’t you know” here, but question mark…))

—

—

「Good now, Regulus, you are the king in this duel. Handle it with care.」(Leo)

「It’s a shame we lost the last fight. I don’t know who’ll come out, just don’t be careless.」(Leo)

「In that case, go! I want the victory in our 『Gabranth』s hands!」(Leo)

—

　In order to inspire the two of them, the 『Gabranth』 raised cheers for both. Pushed by the voices, the two of them turned their feet and advanced towards the battle grounds.

—

—–

—

—

—

　But that’s where a problem occurred. Participating in the fifth round should Maou Eveam and Marione.

—

—

　Of course, those who knew of Hiiro’s efforts supported rather him than Marione, including Marione himself, but he was supposed to be out in the fifth round nevertheless.

—

—

　Therefore he would tolerate being chosen by the 『Evila』. The 『Evila』, however, were condemned by Lilyin and co with lines such as「Only when we choose Hiiro there will be certainty!」 or similar ones.

—

—

　Moreover it was probable that the opponent that defeated Marione, Leowald, would participate again. The situation was near to worst. No way it was just because Marione and Leowald were not expected to play in the first round instead of a complete order mistake.

—

—

　Lilyin has been heard.

—

「A dry fellow, as usual. Don’t you know, once this is lost you’ll probably never get entrance permission for the library?」(Lilyin) ((and again, no “don’t you know” here – but a question mark.))

「…… well, that’s just like you. But will you be able to carry those things quietly?」(Lily)

「If you say so…」(Lily)

—

—

「But well, coming out the second time this fellow can’t be burdened with the position of ‘king’. In other words, the opponent’s ‘king’ is that prince. Certainly there is a disadvantage, so depending of the method the probability of winning is sufficient.」(Hiiro)

—

　She giggles and happily smiles. (Kukuku) 

—

「Mh？」(Lily)

「How do you mean that?」(Lily)

—

　Supported by the 『Evila』s voices Eveam and appendage went towards the duel grounds. Finally, the fifth match…… the finals began.
