Konjiki no Moji Tsukai Chapter 188

188th episode – Forgetting offense and defense for a blink 

—

—

　While they’re walking, Eveam asks Marione next to her. Marione also wears a calm attitude, not changing his expression as –

—

「Is that so, in that case: obtain victory, Marione!」(Eve)

—

　And then they urged their line of sight towards the opponent incoming from the other side. Even though their figures were small as they still were distant, Leowald’s presence was to be felt clearly. As one would expect from the beast king’s nature, her hand began to sweat.

—

—

　This great character was directly fought by Marione. He had put on a good fight and was defeated nevertheless. But still, almost able to grasp his skills, it was thanks to Marione’s struggles that they had been able to erect an efficient strategy.

—

—

　Nobody interrupted Silva as he fabricated an atmosphere similar to the opening of a meeting. Although I think he definitely would have got a response of some sort or another if Lilyin were here.

—

—

　The two responded with a small nod.

—

—

　This side also firmly affirmed.

—

—

　As Silva said it and took a step backwards, Leowald was the first to open his mouth.

—

「Yeah, let me overthrow you with all my might.」(Eve)

—

—

「I think this one will be difficult for you. Even more than the last fight.」(Leo) ((Lib.: I’m not exactly sure about the first sentence(悪いとは思わんぞ。) Changed the second one a little bit.))

「Gahaha! That’s a good atmosphere. As I thought, you won’t waver once you entered battlegrounds.」(Leo)

—

—

「Moreover, Maou.」(Leo)

「Once I win, let me have Hiiro.」(Leo) ((here we go again …))

「I am quite pleased with this fellow. I want to make him my daughters’ husband without fail.」

—

—

　Purupurupurupuru…… (SFX) ((sound of shaking?))

—

—

「…………ver.」(Eve) ((She simply said ない “nai” = verb-negating suffix. Same ending as ↓))

「I-i……」(Eve)

—

—

「I won’t hand him over!」(Eve) ((hence “…ver” above.))

—

—

「Good! Hiiro will absolutely migrate! Hiiro is mine!」(Leo)

—

—

「Ah, uh, n-no, that, i-it’s totally different……」(Eve) ((But of course it is.))

—

—

「Aahhhhhh! I want to return to my castleeeeeee!」(Eve) ((intonation slightly off…))

—

—

「Y-your Majesty……」(Mari)

—

—

「A-all right! Th-th-that right now was just a fi-figure of speech! As me = 『Evila』, in short my objective is the 『Evila』s aim, therefore I’d never use personal affections as starting point here!」(Eve) ((affections is the right word.))

「I-i knew that already!」(Eve) ((…))

—

—

「I-i will win!」(Eve)

—

—

「Gahaha! I see, as one would expect from Hiiro! He already seized the Maou’s heart as well!」

—

—

「If that’s the case I’ll use my full strength to snatch him away!」(Leo)

—

—

「Preparations complete here.」
「Here as well.」

　Hearing Eveam’s and Leowald’s declarations, Silva coughs lightly and –

—

—

　The surrounding air was filled with keen tension at once. Mutually watching each others slightest movements they even forgot to blink.

—

—

　The curtains of the final round were lifted.

—

——

—

「Your Majesty, I’ll restrain the Beast king somehow! Therefore go at that person!」(Mari)

—

—

　Leowald was standing in front of Regulus, feeling as ambitious as one would expect.

—

—

　As Eveam put her hands onto the ground –

—

—

　Along with tremendous earth-shaking, a crack in the ground was advancing upon Leowald and his son. And as the fissure spread wider and wider, it got mixed with blasts of stones and lumps of dirt from within that attacked them as well.

—

「Understood!」(Reggy)

—

—

「Marione!」(Eve)

—

　Several pitch black tridents were born in Marione’s surroundings. And thus the formation of spears rushed into the sky to attack the enemy.

—

「Don’t ever touch that!」(Leo)

—

　Regulus quickly drew a sword, concentrating his power in its blade. Thereupon water focused on the sword after being born out of the air. Just as it was enough to cover the blade, Regulus directly scythed the sword down just like to shake it off.

—

—

　An edge of water was emitted from the blade, hitting the group of spears. And the instant it touched them, 《Water Fang》brushed the tridents away easily.

—

—

　Although Regulus was praised for skillfully countering the opponents attack –

—

—

　Eveam immediately went into action next. Now she was aiming her opened hands at the two people.

—

—

　A flame erupted from her right hand, and —

—

—

　— from her left hand a tornado-shaped wind was emitted. Put together, those two formed a flaming tornado, assaulting Leowald and companion.

—

—

「Regulus, just ignore it and brace your legs!」(Leo)

—

　Leowald’s body became red as fire as grimaced at the hot wind flying at him.

—

—

　He faced the flaming tornado surprise attack.

—

—

　By no means surprised by the mobilization, Leowald suddenly went towards the fire and shoot his own flames with a swing of his strong arm. Then the tornado changed its direction, dispersing into the sky.

—

—

「Don’t be careless, Regulus!」(Leo)

—

　Behind Regulus, Marione had taken position before anyone became aware of it.

—

—

　In his hand, he held the trident from before.

—

—

　The trident broke through Regulus’ chest, displaying a cruel appearance towards Leowald. But Leowald only looked a little bit surprised, not showing any sign of advancing towards Marione.

—

—

　Pashaa! (SFX)

—

—

「Wha-!?」(Mari)

—

—

「Tch!」(Mari)

—

—

「…… Youngster, you deceived me well.」(Mari) ((一杯喰わされたか))

—

—

「Mastering the 《Binding》 and handling it like magic…… I guess I’ll have to alter my evaluation of you. As one would expect from the Beast King’s descendant.」(Mari)

—

—

「You are indeed worthy of being chosen as the Beast King’s partner.」(Mari) ((btw what is Leo doing? Messing around in the background I guess …))

—

—

「Your Majesty, apparently this youngster isn’t just for show.」(Mari) ((You don’t say…))

—

　Thereupon Leowald also smiles delightful and walked to Regulus’ side.

—

「…… Oh, I am fully aware. However, knocking off my magic, just what kind of body structure do you have?」(Eve)

—

　Thereupon Eveam’s throat made a gulping sound. Even with fire resistance, only Leowald could truly pull off that move.

—

「Don’t mock me. I may not look it, but I’m the Maou!」(Eve)

—

—

「There is also the thing about Marione’s physical condition, so I planned to immediately end this, and am in contrary not able to enjoy myself here.」(Eve)

—

—

「Marione, your condition……… Nay, the answer remains the same.」(Eve)

「If that’s the case, entrust your life to me!」(Eve)
「Your Pleasure!」(Mari)
