Novel Full Chapter 445 Seems to be an Everyday Occurrence
Taking some rest after a good meal, I enjoyed laying down on Isis-san’s lap for a while before I got up to go around the festival again.
And just when I was about to move from Magnawell-san’s forehead…… I saw a “huge explosion” in the distance.
[……Eh?]
Fortunately, it seemed like it happened quite far away from the city where the festival is being held. Could it be terrorism or something like that……? N- No, there’s no way they’d do something like that at a festival hosted by the Six Kings……
“……What in the world were they doing over there?”
[……Their usual…… fight?]
[Eh? Isis-san and Magnawell-san can see what’s happening there?]
This place is directly opposite from where the explosion occurred, so with my eyesight, I can only see the huge explosion cloud.
However, as expected of members of the Six Kings, the two of them seemed to have a grasp of the situation even at this distance. Even so, they spoke sounding somewhat astounded.
[……Unnn…… “Shalltear and Megiddo…… are fighting.”]
[Why!?]
“They’ve always had lots of quarrels. The way Shalltear speaks easily agitated people, remember? She’s incompatible with the easy-to-anger Megiddo……Well, it seems that both of them are taking proper precautions to prevent the island from being destroyed though……”
That was done by people I knew!? Alice…… I appreciate that you’re considerate when I’m alone with Isis-san or Kuro, and gave us our moments but…… Just a few moments passed when we last talked! How the heck are you in a battle with Megiddo-san in such a short time!?
[……Kaito…… “Let’s go”…… If we don’t stop them…… it will affect…… the festival.]
[……Eh? Wait, where are we going? There’s no way we’re going there, right……]
[……It’s alright…… I will…… protect you.]
[N- No, that’s not the point……]
As I looked at the clouds of smoke occasionally exploding in the distance, Isis-san muttered as if she was talking about something obvious, and a magic circle appeared below my feet.
No, no, I can certainly understand that they need to be stopped…… but asking me to intrude in the fight, what do you expect me to do……
The place we arrived at was a battlefield…… A place where flames and flashes of light collided and gouged the ground accompanied by thunderous roars. In the center of this battlefield were the two people who had caused this event.
Even though they tried to prevent direct damage to the city, I think their fight still scared the people within it.
[Ahh, geez! You really are a gorilla who can’t take a joke! Don’t you think your head is just filled with muscles? Oh, right. You can’t think.]
[The f*ck did you just say!? In that case, you’re just a “horny b*tch” who shakes her ass for Kaito!]
[I- It’s already too late for “compliments” now!]
[Why did you think I was complimenting you!? Are you an idiot!?]
[Oi, you f*cking gorilla…… The only person who can curse me is Kaito-san, you know? Want me to smash that right into your empty head……? ]
[……Interesting, let me see you try it.]
Unnn, what the heck was this? I’m not sure what started it…… but I understood from their conversation that they were fighting over trivial things.
However, even if they really were idiotic when cursing someone, they were both people with world-class abilities. The situation was extremely bad.
[I- Isis-san? Are you able to handle this by yourself?]
[……Hmmm……. It’s difficult…… but…… “I don’t think there’s a need to”.]
[……Eh?]
When I asked Isis-san if she could stop two of the Six Kings, thinking that it would be difficult by herself, she muttered that she didn’t need to.
Almost as soon as she said those words, the two idiots who had been fighting stopped moving…… A voice that seemed to echo from the depths of the earth resounded.
[……What do you think you’re doing?]
[……K- K- K- Kuro-san!?]
[K- Kuromueina…… No, t- this is just……]
When Alice and Megiddo-san saw Kuro walking towards them with black mist leaking out from her body and an angry expression on her face, their faces turned visibly paler and they automatically sat in a seiza.
Kuro, dauntingly standing in front of them with her arms crossed…… looked really scary. It reminded me of the time I got scolded by her the other day.
[……Shalltear?]
[Y- Y- Y- Yes!]
[……Megiddo?]
[O- Ohh……. Ah, yes.]
[I told you before, didn’t I……? That you shouldn’t fight in the middle of the Six Kings Festival…… I specifically told you, didn’t I?]
[ [ ……Yes. ] ]
Trembling while sitting in a seiza, the two of them looked like prisoners waiting for their execution.
During this tense situation, Isis-san quietly spoke.
[……Kuromueina…… Their verdict?]
[……Forehead flick (strong).]
[ [ ! ? ] ]
What, just a forehead flick huh…… Well, even though she’s angry at them, Kuro is kind, so she may be especially indulging with her family.
I was a little concerned about that “strong” word added there, but well, it looks like they’re going to settle things peacefully.
Or so I was thinking…… but for some reason, Alice and Megiddo-san’s pale faces turned ashen white.
[P- Please wait! Kuro-san, I admit! I admit it’s my fault!!! T- That’s why, anything but that……]
[K- Kuromueina!? I won’t do it again…… T- That’s why, have mercy on me……]
Arehh? Why are they panicking that much? It’s just a forehead flick, right? I guess it would have a considerable amount of power since it’s a forehead flick done by someone powerful like Kuro…… but I’m sure that it would just be something that the two of them, members of the Six Kings, could handle.
[……Kaito…… Go behind me……]
[Eh? Ah, yes.]
As soon as I moved, following Isis-san’s words, Kuro slowly pointed her hand that was already at the ready to the two of them. As for Megiddo-san though, because of his size, Kuro would end up flicking his stomach instead……
And the next moment…… Kuro’s fingertips seemed to glow for a moment, and with a thunderous roar, “the scenery in front of me disappeared”.
[……Eh?]
What was left behind after Kuro flicked her finger was “earth melted by the heat” and “a cleaved sea”. E- Eeeehhhhh!?
[……A- Awawawa……]
[……Kuromueina’s…… forehead flick (strong)…… is very…… painful.]
No, no, that can’t only be on the level of just painful, you know!? T- That is…… W- Wouldn’t that…… kill those two……?
[Fuggyaaahhh…… I- It hurt so bad that I felt like my head was flicked off.]
[Geffuu…… That pierced a hole through my belly…… It hurts.]
[……Both of you, make sure this won’t happen again, okay?]
[ [ Yes! ] ]
……They were alive and well. Receiving that nonsensically strong forehead flick, for them to only have that reaction…… These two really were monstrous enough.
Megiddo-san had a hole in his stomach though…… Ah, it’s healed already. Speaking of which, the sea that was cleaved returned back to normal before I knew it, and there was no sign of a tsunami or anything close to that occurring.
[Well then, get along and fix this area that the two of you destroyed……]
[……Eh? No, rather than us…… Isn’t most of this because of Kuro’s forehead flick……]
[You saying something?]
[I didn’t say anything! We will begin repair work immediately!!!]
H- How should I say this…… Should I say that…… it’s case closed now? No, well, it seems that Kuro perfectly controlled her power, and it doesn’t seem to have affected the city at all…… Unnn, let’s stop thinking about it.
Dear Mom, Dad———— The quarrel between Alice and Megiddo-san, which started from something trivial (?), has managed to come to an end. I mean, it’s unbelievable but…… Judging from Isis-san and Magnawell-san’s reaction, this kind of quarrel…… seems to be an everyday occurrence.
