Chapter 147 - As the Daughter of Demon King, Part 5

Part 1

Offshore America East Coast.

There a large cargo ship was anchored. It was an unregistered cargo ship, so the coast

guard immediately rushed to the ship and called at it, but there was no reaction. The

coast guard kept calling for a while, but not a single response was given, with no other

way left the coast guard decided to board the ship.

It was at that time, several people appeared at the deck of the cargo ship. The coast

guard spontaneously stopped moving and called at those men. However, those men

didn't respond at all and instead took off the sheet that was covering over the cargo

that was placed on the deck.

[-, those guys, are they sane-!?]

One of the coast guard turned pale while cursing. That was only natural. What

appeared from behind the sheet that was taken off was a missile launching pad. At the

same time, the men――the terrorists leaned their body forward from the deck. What

was held in their hand was familiar weapon for the coast guard.

[-, Get back-]

When the coast guard captain yelled that, it was at the same time when the terrorists

pulled the trigger. Violent bursting sounds rang consecutively, *poshu-* along with

such stupid sounding sound, the grenade launcher that was attached on the rifle

mercilessly lobbed explosive on the coast guard ship.

Several people got caught in the explosion and they fell on the coast guard ship while

screaming. Next the steering room erupted in flame.

186 | 285

Naturally another coast guard ship returned fire, but the attack of the terrorists that

was fiercer than their imagination made the coast guard unable to get near. They

called for reinforcement from the navy, but in the end whether the navy would make

it in time or not before the missiles were launched to the city was...

[Shit-, don't-. Stop itt-]

Several of the coast guard yelled. Right at this time their beloved birthplace the coastal

city was about to be destroyed. Thinking about the range of the missile, it could aim

at anywhere at the coastal city. At the place the missile landed, perhaps there would

be their acquaintance, friend, lover, or family there.

But, emotionlessly, a mechanical operating sound was reverberating while the

missiles were aimed toward the coastal city, and then...they were launched.

From the multiple launching pads, a total of six missiles were flying toward the city.

[Aa...how can this be.]

Someone whispered with a tragic voice.

Like that, the missiles crossed above the coast and kept flying toward the center of the

city, it was at that moment,

*GOU-!!*

Black flash cut through the sky. A very thick laser that no one had ever seen except in

SF movie, suddenly flew out from further behind the cargo ship.

The black laser instantly swallowed the missile that was at the very right, and then

the laser was mowing horizontally and annihilated all the missiles.

The coast guard and also the terrorists felt the same astonishment from the

unimaginable happening. As though they had made arrangement beforehand, all of

them similarly turned their head at the direction from where the laser came with

botchy movement *gigigi* that was like a machine that hadn't been oiled, and gazed

there.

There, ahead of their gaze, the sea was beginning to swell up as though a mountain

was forming. Like that, what appeared from there was...

187 | 285

[GO, GOZIRA-!!]

A dragonified Tio. By no meant it was Godzi○. But, with that appearance it couldn't be

helped even if they thought like that. Dragon eyes with vertical split on its pupil and

jet black scales. The sharp fangs lining up in a row. Such monster was appearing while

stirring up the sea!

Like that Tio spread her wings and flew up, then she descended toward the terrorists

who were staring vacantly with mouth wide open. And then, ignoring them who was

screaming, Tio's sharp claws pierced the hull of the cargo ship and she lifted the ship

up all at once.

The terrorists were screaming while firing bullets and grenades at Tio. Having an

experience of fighting giant monster was an experience that was too valuable in a

sense, however, the fact that they couldn't make a single scratch caused the terrorists

to exposed their expression of terror.

『Foolish people. Thou can cool down thy head a bit.』

Suddenly a majestic voice came down from the sky, it was at that moment that the

ship was powerfully thrown. The cargo ship fell on the coast while the terrorists were

scattered out from the deck like snack scraps. The ship split into two along with a

thunderous sound.

『I guess these gentlemen will have question, that's why I will go easy to all of thou』

The voice poured down once more, and then within an instant, thunder fell on the

cargo ship from empty air. Thunderous roar and lightning trampled the coast. The

terrorists inside the cargo ship were grandly electrocuted and collapsed without even

a single exception.

Right after that, a slight sound was reverberating. It was something like the sound of

flight that was created by an aircraft. When Tio turned around, she could see a large

missile coming at her.

Actually, further offshore there was a ship that was loaded with long range missile

standing by. The cargo ship at the coast was also acting as decoy in this attack at the

coastal city.

188 | 285

『How lukewarm. Thou foolish people can perish.』

Such attack couldn't even be considered as attack. Tio who proclaimed that opened

her jaw wide open. Inside, a black light of ruin was converging.

Right after that, the second dragon breath was fired. The breath instantly reached the

missile and annihilated the missile without causing any explosion, continuously it

impacted the ship that was anchored at several dozen kilometer from here.

Just before the breath impacted, the terrorists who were on board of that ship saw the

black wall approaching toward them. There wasn't even time for them to pray to their

god. Right after they was aware that an incomprehensible black shining wall was

approaching near, everything was blown up altogether along with their

consciousness.

Tio who finished firing her breath gave a glance at the coast guard members who were

unable to stand up due to fear, before she used regeneration magic and healed the

wounded. Even people who had stopped breathing were also similarly healed by soul

magic's resurrection.

The scene of their comrades enveloped in black light before their wound was closing

up was truly far removed from reality.

In the eyes of the coast guard members, the pure terror began to be replaced by awe.

『O protectors, be strong.』

Tio left those words and began to dive into the sea once more.

The coast guard members sent their salute while staring wholeheartedly at the

greatness of that figure. No matter how separated from reality this happening was, no

matter how atypical the existence of this figure, it had protected, saved, and gifted

them with valuable words. There was not a single person who stopped saluting until

Tio's figure vanished from view.

And then, with awe and respect, they called that name.

[Thank you, Gozira.]

189 | 285

In a ruined city at a certain country in Middle East. Currently an American army was

stationed there. The reason of their stationing there ranged from apprehending or

killing the leadership of terrorist organization until the humanitarian aid to the

vicinity.

If it was normally, the evening was supposed to be the time when the army would

distribute food ration that was done twice a day even while staying alert of terrorist

attack. The army garrison should be crowded with the local residents visiting for

getting water or food, or visiting the army medical facility to have their injury treated.

However, in the present,

[Reinforcement request from east gate-. Many are injured. Delta and Zetta are almost

isolated-]

[Take some men from the second division-]

[Enemy tank appear at the west gate-. They are receiving concentrated fire-. Request

for air support-]

[Someone-, three people got done in-. Send the medic-]

[South gate, they can't hold on anymore-]

The bellows of the American soldiers, the fierce gunshot sounds, and the thunderous

sounds of explosion were everywhere.

The America army base of this city right now was in the middle of receiving large scale

attack from terrorist organization.

The base that were using several buildings of the city, surrounded with barbed wire,

was now receiving simultaneous attacks from east, west, south, and north of the city.

Because the attack time was matched with the ration distribution time, there were

already many of the citizens that got involved and departed to the next world.

Although the American army immediately evacuated the people who barely got away

from the disaster into the base and the soldiers quickly fought back, the fierce attack

which was to the degree it made everyone wondering if this was actually the gathering

of all the war potential of the terrorist organization, caused the American soldiers to

fall behind and they were forced into a hard fight.

190 | 285

[Shit-, is the reinforcement still not here-. At this rate...]

The leader of this base, Armando Aston's fist hit the desk of the command room loudly.

Aerial bombing toward the enemy force was already impossible because the enemy's

distance to the base was too near. There was one other America base at the scale of

one division at the neighboring city, it would take them twenty minutes for the

reinforcement to reach this city. If they used combat helicopter then it would be even

faster but...without crushing the enemy's anti-air weapon first, it would be too

dangerous for the helicopter to give their support.

In the end, whether this base could hold out the defense until the reinforcement came

or not was...Armando scowled with impatience and he roughly wiped the

unpleasant sweat that trickled on his jaw.

But, at that time a fierce impact sound attacked the command room, cloud of dust was

scattering down from the ceiling. Armando who almost stumbled unintentionally held

on the desk and braced himself while[What happened!?] yelling angrily at the

communication officer.

A transmission that deepened the impatience of Armando further entered from the

radio.

『The enemy, they have a great number of unmanned attack aircraft-! Currently the

east gate is receiving aerial――』

[Impossible, just how far those guys had prepared their equipment-. There is no

intelligence about that at all! Just what was the intelligence department doing!?]

After hearing the cut off transmission, even while understanding that this wasn't the

time, Armando still spontaneously cursed. He immediately gave instruction but...in

the back of the mind of everyone in the command room, the word "annihilation" was

floating.

Like that, Armando was considering whether he should abandon the citizens and

instead escaped from the city even if they had to bulldoze their way through. While

understanding how low the success rate of doing such thing and the risk that they

might lose their great cause for deploying their army in this foreign land, he was still

about to make that decision. It was at that time, *hyuuuuu* an ominous sound of

something cutting through air entered his ear.

191 | 285

[-, all hands, get down-]

Armando's immediate instruction made the surrounding soldiers went pale while

they dived on the floor. Right after that, a violent impact and thunderous roar

assaulted all of them. Their consciousness was shaken as though they had been

entered into a mixer and got whipped up.

[Guh, someone-, situation report-]

Armando was feeling painful ringing in his ears with his hand pressing on his painful

forehead. He somehow stood up and looked around him. And then, a part of the ceiling

crumbled down, the scenery of many of his subordinates crushed under rubbles, and

the sight of the outside that was completely visible from the blown up external wall

entered his eyes.

When he got outside with staggered steps, he could see the many black smokes rising

from the south gate. And then, he witnessed the enemy tank force advancing while

crushing the cars and humans on the street, they were flattening people underneath

like bug while forcing their way through.

The south gate was broken through. In the end, just what happened with the unit that

defended that spot...

[...To all hands, retreat by following the judgment of your own commanding officer

while maintaining your force as much as possible. We are abandoning this base. Aim

to link up with the third battalion that should be heading here.]

Armando who was speaking that into the communication device was quietly watching

the countless tanks that were approaching from the other side of the street while

running over everything in their path. He made a bitter smile. He ridiculed himself, at

how powerless and incompetent he was.

And then, he saw the tank that was running at the lead moving its turret toward him,

or more accurately at the command room behind him, and he discerned his end.

[...You demons. Even though I am an incompetent, but my country is different.

Someday, the hammer of god will――]

*DOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!*

192 | 285

A terrific impact rushed through, cutting off Armando's last words. The tank's

shelling――wasn't the cause, instead it was the sound of that tank getting pierced by

a jet black stake three meter long.

[Fue?]

A stupid voice leaked out from the middle-aged man named Armando.

His shock was only natural. The movement of the tank force of the terrorist

organization was also stopping.

While the time of the battlefield stopped, on top of that jet black stake, without anyone

knowing just from where he could possibly come, a single young man landed down

with a thud. Young, with a face that looked oriental, it was a normal young man that

seemed like could be found anywhere, if you didn't see the giant things on his two

hands that seemed to be weapon that couldn't possibly be carried by flesh and blood

human.

While everyone stopped moving, that young man――Hajime shouldered the pile

bunker while his right hand casually lowered down the gatling gun, and then he

opened his mouth with an expression that was like a yakuza.

[Now then, it will be a curbstomp after this, but is there anyone who want to

surrender? Good, there is none huh. Then, die.]

In this battlefield where sounds of gunshot and explosion were still knocking

incessantly on eardrum, for some reason those words could be heard clearly as

though it came right from across communication device. Hearing those words,

Armando and several of the terrorists made a retort in their heart[Fast-, you've got

no intention of listening right from the start right!?] but...at the next moment, such

voices of heart were sent flying.

Along with the situation, where the tank force was literally sent flying.

*DOU-DOU-DOU-DOU-* Such consecutive heavy bass sound and

*DURURURURURURU* such peculiar rotation sound, those sounds were the

indication of the pile bunker stakes that were fired rapidly and the crimson swarm of

bullet cutting through the air becoming countless flashes that were like meteor.

193 | 285

The two ton stakes that were fired six times per second pierced through the tank with

a force that made the tank looked like toy and pulverized the tank crews inside one

after another, the gatling railgun was instantly changing the buildings into scraps just

like paper scraps while mercilessly changing the terrorists that were at the other side

into meat lump.

[We surrender-. Stop it-]

Several of the terrorists riding the tanks came out with both their hands raised. This

was honestly unexpected, because he thought that these people were all having

martyrdom mentality. And then, Hajime who received the surrender proclamation

was,

[Eh? What did you say?]

While saying something that sounded like a deaf protagonist that came out in a galgame somewhere, he fired his pile bunker as though he hadn't heard anything at all.

The tanks somersaulted midair from the impact. The man who declared his surrender

was squashed underneath red stain was spreading.

[Wh, why-. You heard already that those guys are surrendering right!?]

One of the terrorists raised his voice at Hajime's unreasonableness. In respond to that,

as expected Hajime without even replying properly...

[No negotiation with terrorist. This is the international common sense. Don't you

know that?]

[A surrender declaration, is not negotiation right!?]

If it was asked whether that statement was too much or not, than it was too much.

However, the terrorist couldn't even object for the second time, he received the

strafing of the railgun and ended up as mere pieces of meat.

[Chih, they are like bugs huh. I don't like those guys who only swarm with number.

Annoyingg.]

The tank force that broke through the south gate which should be called as the

greatest land battle force of the terrorist organization was literally instant killed.

Hajime who did such thing stored away his gatling railgun and pile bunker, and then

194 | 285

he kicked on the building wall and jumped to the rooftop, and then following the

rooftops he reached the rooftop of the highest building in the city.

Armando who saw that sight with faint smile,

[...It appeared, the salvation isn't bestowed by god, but by demon, huh.]

Whispered such thing.

Hajime fired a lot of missiles from the rooftop using "Agni-Orkan", the fire trails of the

missiles covered the sky of the city like spider web. The unmanned aircrafts were

easily shot down, next grand explosive sounds could be heard resounding from

everywhere in the city.

After that, Hajime who annihilated the large scale troops of the terrorist organization

next operated his smartphone to activate the satellite artifact "Bel Agarta" (By pouring

down light exposure that had been enchanted with regeneration magic, it would

regenerate the target at the above ground. Hajime developed it so it was possible to

immediately heal his friends and family even when they were far away) that he

willfully launched in stealth mode using space magic until above the satellite orbit

before this, and healed the American soldiers.

Looking at his subordinates that should have died coming back to life (It was

impossible for those who had died too long), at the enemy force that was easily

returned to ash, and at Hajime who interrogating several terrorists before leaving the

battlefield like nothing happened and vanished, Armando could do nothing except

laughing.

Armando who later returned home to his country, even though he was a pious

believer of god, but his tendency that was starting to have excessive interest to demon

greatly worried his family and colleagues but...that was another story.

On the other hand, Hajime who had asked about the current whereabouts of the

leadership of the terrorist organization from several of the terrorists attacking the

city, teleported to that place.

The location seemed to be a suite room at a high class hotel at the capital. Surely the

choice of this location came from the thinking that the possibility of aerial bombing

was gone in this location where there were a lot of common people, making it into a

safe place.

195 | 285

It seemed that they were reserving the whole floor as their base, thinking from the

extravagant terrorist force just now, it appeared that the terrorists were in possession

of considerable financial clout. Actually Hajime became curious about the connection

of the terrorist with that area.

Hajime who ignored the front desk and directly teleported to the floor advanced

through the corridor with brisk steps. Then, men who seemed to be guards

immediately pulled out their gun――faster than them, Hajime floored the guards with

double lariat.

While confirming that the presences inside the room suddenly became noisy, Hajime

kicked open the splendorous door with yakuza kick. Immediately countless bullets

rushed at Hajime. While carelessly warding off the bullets with his left hand, Hajime

entered the room with a rude entrance and,

[Who the hell are-gobohaa-!?]

The first thing Hajime did was launching yakuza kick at a middle aged old man that

seemed to be the terrorist leader. The man seemed about to say something but, he

was made to swallow his words back so it was unknown what he was going to say.

Even terrorist wasn't a match to the approaching old age.

The people around the middle aged man were about to fire at Hajime further, but as

expected Hajime's slap was overwhelmingly quicker. The guards were all artistically

rotating twelve times midair before getting floored, or getting buried into the wall, or

breaking through the ceiling and lost consciousness.

[Now then, old man. You are the mastermind of the simultaneous terrorisms this time

huh?]

[Guh, gohoh, you bastard――]

The yakuza kick burst on the middle aged man's solar plexus for the second time

today. Trampling on the middle aged man that was vomiting while screaming with a

voice that normal people wouldn't be able to endure, Hajime grinded his foot further

as though to add on the pain.

[Well, it's actually inconsequential whether you are the ring leader or not though. I'll

have you spit out the information about the shitty bastard financing you all here.]

196 | 285

The middle aged man who seemed about to prattle "Who will tell you huh!" got the

muzzle of Donner pressed hard on his forehead by Hajime who searched for the

company and person who were financing the terrorist organization.

[Wait, you, do you understand what is the meaning of this revolution? The

exploitation by America is――]

[Aa, enough about that.]

*DOPAN-*

The head of the middle aged man that was about to start talking about something got

blown away. That act of Hajime who seemed as though he didn't know of the existence

of the word mercy itself caused the remaining leaders to back away while shuddering.

Hajime turned around at those leaders while tapping Donner on his shoulder. The

leaders were desperately begging for their life, saying things like they would give him

money, or they would prepare woman or anything he liked, but

[Oy, look here you guys, it seemed you tried to publicly execute my daughter and her

friend. I won't let you guys get off with excuse of not knowing you know?

Indiscriminate terrorism is something like that isn't it? You guys tried to push for your

own conveniences, indiscriminately. And then among those people there was a

relative of a monster. That's why, you guys die. That's all there is to it. Think of these

in your mind, I have done something stupid huuh, I failed huuh, and then die.]

Like that...in this day, one terrorist organization that was once the biggest was

annihilated from this world. Just in case, it seemed that there were two or three people

of the leaders who were thrown at a garrison of US army in a state of beaten up black

and blue, where they were safely(?) retrieved.

Part 2

At the living room of Nagumo family, Hajime and others were enjoying tea time while

watching special news report. If it was asked what kind of special news it was, than

naturally it was regarding the simultaneous terrorisms that occurred at America the

other day and the many miracles at those attack sites.

197 | 285

The male presenter was moving the news report forward with a voice and expression

that looked excited.

[Now then, there were existences that changed the many tragedies that were caused

by the cowardly terrorists at that day into miracles that will remain in history. Many

people killed and wounded were healed by holy light, a passenger plane that was

protected by golden light just before it crashed, the hostages that were on the verge

of execution were saved from the terrorists by flying kick and giant hammer, the

president was protected by someone using a single katana...just what in the world

those women were? No, just what in the world those existences were? Were they

secret agent of the country? Such opinion seemed to also exist, but no matter how, it

was unimaginable that what they had done was the work of human. It-was-truly, the

work of god! Many people who witnessed them had spoken unanimously.]

There, the male presenter put a long pause before,

[They spoke, that those women were exactly "goddesses" that descended to this

world.]

Kaori and Shizuku fell prostrated on the table. Their ears were dyed bright red. When

Hajime sniggered, the news report moved to the recording of the interview toward

the witnesses.

A young man of the rescue squad that was carrying out the rescue operation at a

destroyed airport, was answering the interview with an excited state.

[Eh? You are asking me what I think of the woman's true identity? Such thing is

obvious. She is the goddess. A goddess that is overflowing with kindness. If possible I

want to know her name but, no, that is too disrespectful perhaps. At any rate, that

person is too beautiful, noble, and warm. The light that rained down on those injured

people, it was truly divine. That was――]

The interview cut off. Surely if that young man was allowed to keep talking then he

would keep at it even for several hours. The screen changed back to the male

presenter.

[He was really excited isn't he! But that too is only natural. Clad in whitely violet light,

with beautiful pair of wings, raining down light of healing that resurrected even the

death. Furthermore, she appeared almost at the same time at multiple places that

were damaged by the terrorisms, protecting the people with warm light. This

198 | 285

existence that cannot be possibly human, has been called with a certain name by the

people, and this program, will recognize that given name. Now, everyone in the studio,

and then, you who are in front of the television, let's extol that great existence! Her

name is――Angel of Kindness!]

[ [ [ [ [Angel of Kindneesss!!!] ] ] ] ]

Kaori sunk down. She crouched while plugging her ears and entered the posture of

seeing no evil, hearing no evil, and speaking no evil. It appeared the limit meter of her

shyness had already surpassed its max number.

Wasting no time, Yue was making a sadistic expression while she was trying to make

Kaori to stand up and watched the television. After giving a glance at Kaori who was

saying 'no no' with her head shaking in refusal and Yue that kept pulling on her,

Hajime and others then paid their attention at the next interview in the news program.

The one who made the next appearance was the unit members that belonged to the

coast guard of the West Coast (TN: I realize that at the beginning of the chapter it said

East Coast. But it was written West Coast now here.). With body and hand gestures,

they excitedly spoke about how tremendous the existence that saved them before

protecting the city from the missiles.

And then, they said it. With their mouths in unison, they called that existences as――

[ [ [ [ [It was Gozira-!!] ] ] ] ]

Like that.

[Why――!! No matter from where and how thou see it, it was dragon wasn't it!? It was

a legendary existence that everyone loved art not it!? What's with this fictitious

character treatment!!]

Tio went 'UGAA―' while standing up in protest. However, the coast guard members

in the television were all greatly excited saying[Thank you Gozira!] [We won't forget

Gozira forever.] [Gozira-tan, haa haa] [Gozira, FOREVER] extolling Tio=Gozira.

[Oh maaan, who ever thought that Gozira really exist! And, it appeared at the same

time with the angel, and saved the people...the world is just too lovely! Does

everyone also think so!? It will come you know, it will absolutely come you knoow~.

The GO-ZI-RA Boom is coming-!!]

199 | 285

The tension of the male announcer was already reaching ecstasy. And then, the

tension of Hajime and Shuu who had anticipated the coming boom and had already

bought a lot of the stock of the company that was selling Godzi○ goods was also in

ecstasy.

The next interview subject was the army colonel that was stationed at the Middle East.

When the colonel was asked, just what was he thought about what kind of existence

that had annihilated the large scale army of the terrorist organization attacking his

garrison, the colonel floated a nihilistic smile while answering.

[Fuh. That's obvious. He was a demon――no, he was the demon king-sama.]

Hajime spurted out the black tea he was drinking. No, certainly he was called as

demon king, but he had never imagined that of all thing he would be also called with

that name until here in earth too...his cheeks were cramping from that. The colonel

inside the television was passionately speaking just how merciless, ruthless,

unreasonable, and overwhelming Hajime was, how mere human was like a trash

compared to that existence. It was as though the colonel was being possessed by

demon.

[Whoops, it feels like this program will be banned if we broadcasted more than this,

so let's finish the interview with the colonel until here. It's concerning what will

become with the colonel from here on though, isn't it! Now then, it seems that this

man who repelled an army of terrorist organization by his lonesome has many female

fans with their number rapidly increasing. For some reason all recording of this man

is blurry which caused us to not be clear about his appearance, but the girls all over

the world are going heart-eyed from that mercilessness you know. It seems there is

even a fan club formed up already!]

The high tensioned yell [How enviouuus!] of the male presenter, and then the calm

yet excessively cold gazes that were in contrast with that yell, they were all stabbing

on Hajime. Hajime was pretending of not noticing anything while he drank his black

tea once more,

[But, his popularity among men is also not losing! The gays from all over the world

also seems to go heart-eyed. Really my condolences!]

[Buhoh]

200 | 285

Hajime spurted out his black tea. And then, he was sunk by the kisses and fierce winks

that seemed like they were making *bachikon* sound thrown at him from across the

screen by the many "big sis" who were excessively wriggling and acting flirtatiously

despite their muscular built. Hajime fell prostrated on the table with *gon-* sound

that sounded painful.

While Kaori, Tio, and Hajime were plainly receiving damage, the news continued with

the interview of the pilot that witnessed Yue, he was making a statement that sounded

like he was somewhat awakened to lolicon, the male presenter wasted no time to cut

that off before moving at last to the president who was treating Shizuku as a valkyrie,

furthermore the male presenter mischievously disclosed how the bodyguards of the

president had formed a fan club for the black haired valkyrie, causing Shizuku to

greatly turn red.

[I have done the information manipulation and recognition manipulation through the

net at world scale so no one will know that those people are us but...in the end, we

still receive damage huh.]

Hajime's tired words were nodded by the people who had saved the world and now

were drinking tea on the living room of Nagumo house.

[Come to think of it, Myuu. After that, what happened with your friend? Just in case,

at that time I took out Myuu from the recognition of the children that were in that

place but...that child named Natalia is the only one whose recognition I didn't

tamper with. Will it become a problem?]

At that day, Hajime applied the measure on the children that Myuu saved so they

would only remember that a blond haired girl annihilated the terrorists while making

them forgot that the girl was Myuu. Hajime used a silver tube artifact to go flash on

the children. That thing which was exclusively used by the black suited agents who

protected the earth from alien.

But, regarding Natalia, with Myuu's wish and the strong hope from the person herself,

she was not given the recognition manipulation treatment. Natalia herself also

promised that she wouldn't reveal anything about Myuu to other people no matter

what. Just in case there was a situation where for example someone knew about Myuu

and tried to do something to Natalia, Natalia was given an artifact to make other

people believe the girl's deception as truth.

201 | 285

[Yep, no problem nano. But...]

[But? Is there something?]

[Uu~n, perhaps it's just Myuu's feeling but, it feels like the way Na-chan is looking at

Myuu has changed...]

[...Like how?]

[It's like, Altina-san when she is looking at Shia-oneechan...]

[Myuu, cut off your relationship with Na-chan, right now.]

[It's fine nano. Because Na-chan's face looked satisfied when Myuu gently patted her

and she immediately returned to the usual Na-chan.]

[...I see.]

Hajime's expression turned into one where he couldn't say anything. Shia was

directing a gaze that was shuddering at Myuu while saying[Myuu-chan, has she

surpassed me before I realized it...] . It appeared that Myuu was steadily climbing

the stairs of "wrong person".

[Ah, that's right, papa. Has you flashed Emile-kun too properly nano?]

[Hm? I don't know which one is this Emile that you refer, but all the children at that

place other than Natalia, everyone of them have been treated for sure. What's the

matter?]

[...Emile-kun, for some reason, he remember about Myuu nano. It looks like he

doesn't know that the one who was fighting at that time was Myuu, but he remember

that Myuu was there as Na-chan's friend, and it looked like all this time he was

contacting Na-chan saying that he want her to let him meet Myuu. Although Na-chan

is refusing it all.]

[...Hou.]

It appeared, the youth Emile was unable to forget the battling fairy of that day.

Strangely he was remembering Myuu and seemed to wish for a reunion. Surely it

would be boorish to ask what kind of feeling that drove him to do so. After all if it had

to be said, then it was the case of 'Boy meets girl".

The doting parent papa Hajime who guessed that emitted a voice that sounded a level

lower than usual. He was thinking, so there was one more pest that was approaching

his beloved daughter. Since Myuu was advancing to elementary school, the number of

the pest that was approaching Myuu was increasing day by day.

Youth Emile, now what to do about you, was what papa Hajime was beginning to

ponder. Myuu who was seeing Hajime being like that looked excessively happy and

she cheerfully sat down on Hajime's lap. And then, she looked up at Hajime with wide

smile while speaking.

[Papa don't need to be that worried. Myuu, will forever be papa's Myuu nano.]

[Mu, that's, well, I don't have any intention of doing anything about such a brat

though...]

[Papa, Myuu said that Myuu understand.]

[...]

Hajime was making a troubled face and turned his gaze at Yue and others asking for

help, but before his face could move, Myuu's small hands caught Hajime's cheeks from

two sides and fixed Hajime's gaze on herself.

And then, while she was showing a bewitching smile that reminded him as a certain

someone somewhere,

[It's better for papa to think, that you won't be able to escape forever nano.]

[...]

She said such thing.

Hajime thought. In this five years, Yue's magic, Shia's taijutsu and war hammer art,

Tio's whip art, Kaori's twin swords art, Shizuku's Yaegashi-style, and then, Hajime's

gun-kata were all learned by Myuu to a high level. Originally, the sea dweller race

didn't have a body that was particularly excellent in battle, yet regardless of that Myuu

had achieved all those.

That was surely because all the cheat characters around her taught Myuu their

essence to her without sparing anything, and Myuu who trusted and adored those

girls from the bottom of her heart was seriously working hard, but even with those

factors, Myuu's learning rate could still be praised without reserve.

Perhaps because of that, Hajime hallucinated, of his own figure that was being held

down by Myuu even after he used all the methods in his possession and yet he still got

outdone...

(No, no way that could be...)

[Nmyu?]

With a surprising switching speed, her bewitching expression of just now had gone

somewhere, Myuu had returned to the usual innocent Myuu with her tilting her head,

that appearance...

For some reason, it caused Hajime's to shudder with a sudden shaking.
