Lightning Empress Maid Chapter 62

“That shitty geezer is strong. It’s been a while since there was something Nanaki couldn’t take down quickly.”

at least not instantly

While listening to those foul words, I was kneeling on the ground.

bow to Nanaki~ : 3

It’s nothing much, I was just defeated immediately. If I were to make excuses as usual. the girl——Nanaki had an inconceivable strength since that time. At the very least, it was of a level that there was nobody who cold defeat Nanaki solo at that time.

three great gods?

Moreover, the god she had with her was an absurd one.

and she beat him solo~

“……Ilveng=Nazgul.”

“Oh? What’s with you, you know Nazgul?”

“……it’s because he’s famous.”

kamisama Idol Nagul-chan~

An old god from the age of the god world war, known as the Lightning of Legend, Ilveng=Nazgul. As per his name, a monster that controlled lightning and rampaged through the world. It is said the number of gods he has killed has exceeded a hundred, and now that I know his strength I can accept that that is the truth.

he didn’t kill the ice god and Hiyent=helios?

The pitch black lightning god stood quietly behind Nanaki. That enormous pitch black knight armor was terribly intimidating. Something like that was defeating by one person, and even a young child, of course I doubted my eyes and ears. Just that, subjugation does not really feel like it applies to their relationship.

nope, just friends~

“The shitty geezer ain’t coming to save you. Doesn’t he hate you?”

“……not ‘you’, Envy.”

“Ahn? ……Ooh, name? Nanaki’s name is Nanaki.”

“It seems words work.”

“You really are an idiot. Nanaki is human so that’s obvious.”

“I told you, I’m Envy.”

onee-sama desu

In a situation where my subservient god, Hiyent=Helios is destroyed and I am being held down, the most I can do is talk.

talk your way out~

“Nanaki, your parents?”

“Died.”

“Then you’ve survived alone?  That’s amazing.”

“……! Fufun!”

gj nanaki~

I remember that Nanaki had made a slightly surprised expression and then snorted proudly. It has probably been a while since she was praised. At that time she still had not opened her heart to me, but that expression was still somewhat happy.

children are honest~

And so we talked about a lot of things as I was being held down. Looking from the side it probably is quite comical.

stockholm syndrome plot development?

As we talked, what I thought about was still about the words she used. From Nanaki’s mouth came a mountain of words that should not be coming out of a girl’s mouth. I want to ask Nanaki’s mother whom I’ve never seen why she didn’t teach Nanaki slightly better words.

becos Mother knows best~

I suffered, yeah, I really suffered.

rehabilitating nanaki?

“Then Envy came from the capital?”

“That’s right. Even though I look like this I’m quite high up.”

“Even though you’re so weak!”

pfft

Children are cruel.

yep

Up to this point, Nanaki’s laughter had rung out at various points in the conversation. She isn’t much, when you talk to her, she is just a foul-mouthed girl. Nanaki, having grown up in the wide forest, was quite interested in stories of the capital. With her curiosity on ful

l throttle, she asked about various things, and I answered.

onee-san mode activate

Simply put, I was a bad onee-san that manipulated a child.

….its okay, go good onee-san mode next time

As we talked, I slowly learnt more about Nanaki. Although it is easy to misunderstand with her tone, but she is definitely not aggressive. I can say that as long as you don’t take hostile actions, she won’t attack……somehow it feels like I’m describing an animal.

nanaki still wild

Next, Nanaki and I got on better terms. Well, that is of course something on the surface though. Should I instead say I succeeded in my manipulation?

bad envy

“Fine, I’ll let you escape. But bring Nanaki along. There’s a bunch of people in the capital right?”

“……why the capital?”

“Mother said so. Nanaki is special so be useful to people. There’s a bunch of people, Nanaki will help them.”

“How arrogant. Well, that’s fine, just don’t hurt anyone.”

except Silver, he’s an asshole

At that time, I had blindly thought that it would be okay if handled her with all the Five Emperors so I readily consented. When I think of how it could have become a huge disaster if we misstepped just once, it’s simply not laughable.

well the empire would be gone

“Good! Then Nanaki will quickly kill that shitty geezer and go to the capital Envy!”

“——”

some things never change

That is Nanaki’s core.

like Nanaki

In Nanaki’s heart, her mother’s words always exists. Nanaki’s way of thinking is horribly warped. The one who moulded that is a woman that I have never met and will never be able to meet. If something violates a set boundary, then Nanaki will immediately kill it. She has survived by doing that.

Mother did well

That is why Nanaki kills those she recognises as enemies without fail. Worse, she has that strength.

all for Nanaki to live

She probably just took the best course of action for her daughter to survive. She probably wanted Nanaki to live that much, enough to sacrifice various things as a human. In the end, Nanaki grew up strong and survived as she expected. But thanks to that, our hero will be killed.

he commited a sin

Nanaki’s recognition still has not changed even now.

once you are Nanaki’s enemy

‘Those that try to kill Nanaki, those that hinder Nanaki——‘

only way to ive

All according to her plan. She had drawn that boundary.

is to defeat nanaki

‘——-those that Nanaki wants to kill, they are Nanaki’s enemies, Envy.’

and Iaal is no.3

The third is a reason there is no salvation from. Ivaal-sama has touched Nanaki’s reverse scale. She has probably never taught Nanaki morals. She didn’t teach Nanaki ethics. Because there are many things in them which will hinder survival, or possibly she wanted to make her daughter a monster.

no

Kill if you want to kill, she had cast a curse on her daughter.

a curse that kept her alive

As a result, the monster called Nanaki was born. No matter how righteous, words will not work on that monster that has the mighty power to defeat even the Lightning of Legend. Is there anything as terrifying as this? Things that she should  naturally have had if she lived as a human has been thoroughly eliminated.

for survival

The me at that time, thought that looking at Nanaki’s warpedness.

the only problem with warpedness

“Hey Nanaki, Ivaal-sama is not an enemy.”

“He is, that’s an enemy. So I’ll kill it.”

is acceptance by others

——That’s no good, I thought that.

but is that really necessary

I had just met her, or more like had my servient god destroyed and held down. Why did that kind of feeling well up towards that little girl? Honestly speaking right now I still don’t know. But I could not abandon her like that. That was, not possible for me.

the onee-san within

It was an anger I didn’t really understand. At such a small girl living like that, at her having killed like that, at the world where she had to do that to live. I bore an anger I could’t really explain. There was just one thing that was formed into words in my heart and formed my conviction.

unacceptable

Didn’t I become the Flame Empress to protect this kind of thing?

from this hopeless world

That’s because us Five Emperors are not protecting the capital, we are guarding the world. That is why I decided. The boundary that she drew, I will dispel that curse. I will make Nanaki learn that even without living alone, there is a way to live with everyone. I decided that.

and resultingly

“——hey, Nanaki.”

“Ahn?”

meet your new

Yes, on that day.

family

I became an older sister.
