Lightning Empress Maid Chapter 77

Ever since Nanaki gained awareness, Nanaki has always been told that I am a special human.

Nanaki must live

Nanaki’s foundation is Mother. Even I am aware of that. My beloved and respected Mother said that Nanaki is a special human. That alone was sufficient reason. That alone was enough reason for Nanaki to become a special human. Nanaki worked hard. In order to become stronger than anyone, in order to survive no matter what. In order to fulfill the promise.

all cuases of death must be overcome

“The ideal human that has completely adapted to magic, that is Nanaki.”

even magic necrosis~

So I wasn’t disturbed by sister’s words. I even thought it was natural.

Nanaki being special is normal

“You don’t seem surprised.”

“There is no reason for me to be surprised.”

it is just stating the obvious

In fact, it feels like I finally understood. It is proof to myself, to Nanaki. That this body really is special, is able to be special. I have seen certain proof of this path that I have walked with pride. Then Nanaki must be proud of this. I must hold my chest high and treat it as a matter of course.

or it would be doubting yourself

Because Nanaki is special. Tokubetsu Nanaki(Special Nanaki).

never doubt yourself~

“We noticed only recently. Although we originally thought something was strange, we confirmed it the day when all the satellites were destroyed. Even for Ilveng=Nazgul, known as the Lightning of Legend, that is impossible. No matter how we thought about it, mana on the level of, or even higher than Ilveng=Nazgul’s had to be added to it. By this point, there was only one answer.”

…when nanaki mana>god’s mana

I involuntarily clapped my hands together after hearing Envy’s words.

ah!

I see, they were wrong in the first place. An unexpected surprise, I guess this is a misunderstanding because Nanaki is special. Fearing magic necrosis, Silver, Envy and the rest normally only use their god’s mana. Since that is natural, they probably judged that Nanaki was also not an exception.

but no

But it has become something like, nope, Nanaki is special. It can be seen as me being extremely unreasonable. Please forgive me, those of the Five Emperors. Excuse Nanaki. Bow.

no offense

Of course, Nanaki has also learnt about magic necrosis and had the knowledge. But I still continued using magic because I had continued using magic since young and never had problems.Although I had thought that I probably had particularly strong resistance, I did not think I had completely conquered it.

that’s one less thing to care abou

Indeed, since avoiding using your own mana as much as possible was the norm, then their misunderstanding is acceptable. Basically, all of the Five Emperors underestimated Nanaki. Using common sense to restrict Nanaki, just what do you think this prideful Nanaki is?

human~

“Even if we are called transcended beings, we are still humans, honestly speaking, we have no chance of winning in a fight against a proud monster that uses all her mana with no risk. Even if we put our lives on the line and use all our strength, the five of us and four gods are only at the level of maybe reaching Nanaki and Nazgul=Ilveng.”

hopeless~

It seems she has been forced to go through a lot of hardships. What can Nanaki do for the tired-looking Envy who let a sigh leak out. At best, I can only give her a word of encouragement? Encouraging the older sister is also a duty of the younger sister, I think I will encourage Envy with full sincerity.

gokurousama

“Seems difficult, thank you for your efforts.”

“It’s your fault you know?”

nuuu

Unexpected. Nanaki just enforced my own pride. Having retreated from my path means Envy and the rest are a level weaker than Nanaki, that’s it. It’s troubling even if you make it Nanaki’s fault. None of Nanaki’s business.

nonb

“Didn’t the prophecy say Nanaki will destroy the world? Never mind destroying the world, she is the only human that has conquered magic necrosis. You are just hiding science, it still exists. Then with Nanaki’s cooperation, can’t you understand the mechanism of magic necrosis, and develop something like an antibody? Instead of destroying the world, isn’t she the saviour?”

until you antagonised her

After listening for a while, master attacked the core of the problem. Even with this many people gathered, the ones who speak out are mainly master and Envy, occasionally Nanaki and Silver. Meia-sama also spoke a little, but the rest seem to have been completely overwhelmed by the atmosphere. Reconfirmition that master really is deviated. I think it is good.

a good master

“Yes, that. The prophecy, we should have thought more about it.”

“Meaning?”

“Well, normally thinking about it, it means that the existence of science would be exposed and the capital would collapse. Currently, it has come to just one step before that. If you attacked the capital with Nanaki’s fighting strength, no matter which side wins, the capital would be destroyed.”

“……is it something that vague? Don’t the Five Emperors know the mechanism of the prophecy?”

“Gods make the prophecies. There are a few gods who aid humans to protect the balance of the world. That;s why even if the prophecies themselves are unclear, their accuracy is almost a hundred percent.”

“Gods again……”

a pain

About that.

why trust them

It’s too much to say that it can’t be helped just because it is a world ruled by omnipotent existences that can solve anything with magic. Just as humanity obtained magic and thought they obtained the means to fight back, the problem of magic necrosis arose, and when science was hidden to conquer that, somehow Nanaki and the Five Emperors ended up fighting. Just endless procrastination.

when they are

Leaving behind just a vague prophecy, just how much trouble do you think you caused Nanaki?

the root of the problem

If you don’t stop messing with me, then I’m gonna kill——kill?

hm?

“…………hm?”

“What’s wrong Nanaki?”

“No……hm?”

chotto mate~

Prophecy, god, world, destroy, Nanaki.

puzzle pieces

“Er, Envy.”

“Yeah. I think that is probably the truth of the prophecy. That’s why I gathered us today.”

If that is the case, we have been making a large misunderstanding up to now, we would have been fighting a really meaningless battle. This is an absurd thought, so there is a chance we are mistaken. But, it might explain the unnatural parts that can be seen here and there in the prophecy.

explanation pls

In the first place, what is the reason that humans must conquer magic necrosis, Friend? Yes, the existence of you gods. People need magic to resist the irrationality of gods. But people will die if they use it. No matter how much time passes nothing gets done because we keep getting delayed. That’s right Friend. That is right, that, was right?

was

“Nanaki completely adapted to magic and conquered magic necrosis, even that Igrey=Arairah was defeated by Nanaki. The one that obeys her is the famous god killer, Lightning of Legend Ilveng Nazgul. And there is the talented genius that defeated that Lightning of Legend alone. Isn’t this good fortune, Silver?”

“…..what do you want to say?”

“I’m saying, it has been born. The ‘natural enemy of the gods’.”

devil?

Anyone could hear the swallows. Thump, something dropped within my heart. Completely. Yes, why did I not think of it until now.

(T?N: 誰もが息を飲んだのが聞こえた。すとんと、心の中で何かが落ちた。綺麗に。そうだ、どうして今まで思わなかったんだろう。 Don’t get this part, just translated it literally.)

“The gods prophecised that Nanaki will destroy the world. We tied that to the existence of science and thought it meant the destruction of the capital, but in the end can that be called the world? That’s the human world.”

“……Oi, wait, what are you thinking?”

“Just listen Silver. What is the destruction of the world? What do you think what the gods call the world is? Lightning Empress Nanaki will destroy the world, that was the prophecy. I couldn’t believe that she would do something like that. Then what would will Nanaki destroy? What is the world that Nanaki would destroy herself?”

the one of her enemies

Ah, I see. That’s why they tried to kill Nanaki. If this really is correct, Nanaki has been constantly receiving attacks. That is hostility towards Nanaki, Nanaki’s enemies. Kill enemies, that is necessary for Nanaki to survive. I see, it was good that I did not direct this at Envy and the rest.

Nanaki’s hostility

I have always been mistaken.

Nanaki’s enemy is not the capital

“Isn’t it”

it is the one that manipulated them

Yes, Nanaki’s ‘enemy’ is——

the ones who keep trying to kill nanaki

“——this world that the gods rule?”
