Lightning Empress Maid Chapter 120

Chapter 120
Unknown Eltel

“————Aiysha Knightleigh. Become a Five Emperor.”

….

In the past, there was someone that said the same thing to Nanaki.

that old man

An old man who had continued to evade death. Nanaki never grew to like that man, but he enforced his pride until the end, and he begged Nanaki. That was too one-sided to be called a promise, Nanaki has no obligation to fulfill it. That man is Nanaki’s enemy. That cannot be changed.

unforgivable

That’s why, this is just a whim. The circumstances just happened to fit . If a reason like that is fine, then it wouldn’t be bad to fulfill the promise with that person. Nanaki thought that.

rather than leave it

“I……a Five Emperor……?”

“Of course, I do not mean right now.”

train up?

The current her does not have that strength, neither can Nanaki yield that position yet. While there is that agreement between master and the emperor, I must guard the capital as Lightning Empress Nanaki. If Nanaki broke the agreement, it would be disadvantageous for master. Nanaki does not wish for that.

but in the future

So Aiysha becoming a Five Emperor will be after everything ends.

but…

“From today on, you are my successor. Until you have enough strength to be a Five Emperor, I will train you.”

“…………who, exactly are you?”

isn’t it obv?

Even while covered it wounds, she shook off Nanaki’s hand that had been supporting her and once again stood on her own feet as she asked that. I see, thinking about it, Nanaki has not named myself. On top of that fight, an invitation to be a Five Emperor. It’s natural that she is on guard.

but isnt that enough hints

But her inability to figure things out is a problem. If that is too bad, then she won’t be useful. In the first place, Aiysha was the one who did not listen, Nanaki thinks she should resign herself and accept this much hardship. It is normal for the strong to force unreasonable things onto others. Give up.

or become strong

“Then once again, let me introduce myself.”

what do you mean again

Human relationships always begin from greetings, this teaching was from the sister Nanaki respects from the bottom of Nanaki’s heart. Considering Nanaki’s relationship with Aiysha in the future, Nanaki would like a harmonious master and disciple relationship. Then Nanaki shall now do Nanaki’s first job as a master.

shishonanaki~

“I am one of the Five Emperors, Lightning Empress Nanaki.”

“Wha————”

….it really should’ve been obvious

It seems she really hasn’t noticed. When Nanaki took a step back and deeply bowed at the waist to show Nanaki’s respect, Aiysha revealed an expression of shock.

that unexpected?

“Lightning Empress Nanaki? You’re that Lightning Empress Nanaki.”

“Yes.”

“This child……seriously……?”

176 an adult, kinda

Who’s a child.

just abit fla——-gomennasai

Nanaki is already sixteen this year, a splendid lady. A child refers to a person who still cannot become independent so it does not apply to Nanaki. Because Nanaki has survived alone in that forest since the day Nanaki lost Mother to death. After that Nanaki met an irreplaceable sister, Envy, and learnt of the beautiful world Mother spoke of. Nanaki saw, walked, thought, and has arrived here. Nanaki has stood on Nanaki’s own legs and walked this far. Nanaki would like you to withdraw those words immediately.

…t

hat suddenly got heavy

“Do you understand, Aiysha? I am going to become your master from now on, so stop treating me like a child.”

“No, in the first place, I haven’t agreed to anything.”

doesn’t matter

That’s true. Until now, Nanaki has just selfishly tested her, selfishly had expectations and selfishly advanced the conversation. That’s why if Aiysha says she has no interest in that, Nanaki shall withdraw.

really?

“I do not mind if you refuse. Right now, you are just an extra anyway.”

…taunt?

Because in the end this is Nanaki’s whim. It is not something for Nanaki to be stubborn about and the current her is not so great that Nanaki would go that far. It’s just that in the middle of looking for Harmy, Nanaki found the talent known as Aiysha. Nanaki might find it brilliant and beautiful, but Nanaki does not feel like developing someone who does not have the will.

no time to waste on that?

“Aahn?”

well, she got hooked anyway

Somehow it seems saying she was an extra touched a nerve, Aiysha let out a clearly dissatisfied voice. But the truth is the truth. This Nanaki does not have any need to be considerate of a loser. This is the capital’s central, the final destination of talent. A harsh place where age and gender are neither obstacles nor excuses. It is a place where the fact that you simply cannot match those you cannot match is forced into your face.

hard to be around so much talent

“If you don’t like that, then become strong enough to become the objective instead of an extra.”

“A selfish thing to say.”

“Yes, of course. That is why you are free to refuse. If you do no seek strength I will not be involved with you. Since I am a genius I demand suitable things for me to spend time on. If I have the time to make you stronger, I can do anything.”

“You don’t normally declare that so confidently.”

“You cannot declare that because you are weak, Aiysha. Normal cannot be a Five Emperor.”

that’s why they are that strong

And she has enough talent to break through that wall. But telling her that is too much service. She has to decide the rest by her own will. This is for her sake. This is what a capable maid is.

no it isn’t

“…………if I apprentice myself to you, can I become stronger?”

“That depends on Aiysha.”

but prob yes

The standards of strength is decided by each person for themselves. If the strength she talks about refers to Nanaki then rest assured. Nobody will even reach this strength. Nobody will even overtake Nanaki nor will anybody ever catch up to Nanaki, an endless path. That is in a certain sense, happiness, Aiysha.

(T?N: I don’t understand this paragraph. Either I just don’t understand or I translated wrongly. Can someone explain this to me? will put the raw of this paragraph at the end of the chapter.)

In front of me, there is no longer anyone.

Mother is gone

“Anyhow, rest that tattered body for now. I will come to hear your answer at a later date. Worry about it as much as you like until then, Aiysha.”

“Don’t call the name of an elder so casually. Add on san, san.”

“I will come again, Aiysha-obasan”

“You bastard!!”

pause

play

“————and so I believe it would be easier for your excellency to place a few people on this side as well.”

“……basically you want to headhunt imperial servants?”

“Putting it bluntly, yes.”

very blunt

Changing locations, before her excellency.

hihi

Nanaki thought. While the Five Emperor’s search for the culprit with blood-shot eyes after sensing the battle with Aiysha just now, finding Harmy would be difficult. In that case, Nanaki thought of dealing with future problems first. And it would be perfect if Nanaki could also talk about Aiysha. Smart Nanaki

….debatable

“Have you decided on who?”

“Yes. I am considering a girl called Harmy and also bringing along a somewhat violent servant by the name of Aiysha Knightleigh. Of course it is only if they agree though.”

“Aiysha Knightleigh?”

can’t?

Her excellency suddenly repeated Aiysha’s name.

that important?

“Your excellency has heard of her?”

“Yeah, she has come up in some discussions. I’ve heard she is a regrettable problem child.”

like Nanaki?

I see, it seems they have spotted Aiysha’s talent long ago. In the first place, the fact that she is in this Central is a guarantee that she is a bearer of extraordinary talent, so it’s natural. But the judgement of her is regrettable, so it seems their judgement of her is quite complicated.

like Nanaki?

Judging from what Nanaki knows, it should be because of her personality.

can I say it a third time?

In this capital, as long as you have talent, based on the quality of your talent, things up to a certain extent will be overlooked, but her talent is slightly lacking for her arrogance to be allowed. It is impossible to think that the current Five Emperors who are picky about etiquette would develop that rash person. If she had perfect conduct, then she would probably be trained by Silver or Envy, or possibly Salia as a successor by now.

not raicou?

By the way, who could be the super problem child. Nanaki is curious.

very curious

“In her case, rather than headhunting, it would be more of taking her on as a successor.”

“Hou?”

interesting stuff~

When Nanaki abruptly cut into the main topic, her excellency narrowed her eyes slightly and muttered that.

…

“Of course yielding the position of Five Emperor will only be after all the battles have ended, so please rest assured, your excellency. As long as you do not become an enemy, I am an ally.”

“That Lightning Empress Nanaki has become quite enthusiastic in her work. Even though nothing has begun yet, to start raising your successor as a Five Emperor from now……what turn of events is this?”

no idea

Naturally, her excellency was dubious. Nanaki would also like to rebut her excellency’s words, but considering Nanaki’s conduct until now it is understandable. But since we are working together, it would be unproductive to keep sounding out each other. So Nanaki will honestly answer her excellency’s question.

progress?

“This battle will most probably not go on for long.”

…against all the gods right?

The one that Nanaki must defeat, Nanaki’s enemy, is most likely not a god. Because that was not the name of a god. Then that name, the name Nanaki heard that time. in the end what does it refer to?

It must be someone somewhere.

“————your excellency, does your excellency know of the name Eltel?”
