Chapter 11: Chapter 11 - Threat
- It's just that you were considered a very dangerous entity for them.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- And because of that... -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- You have been officially declared a new threat to humanity. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
Upon hearing this, Mashiro shows a huge expression of surprise.
So much so, that she is speechless for a moment.
- There is?? -Mashiro
- Does it threaten humanity? -Mashiro
- What you mean? -Mashiro
- What the fuck? -Mashiro
- It can't be... -Mashiro
- They… -Mashiro
- No, no, no.. -Mashiro
- It has to be a joke... -Mashiro
- That's... -Mashiro
- But that means that... -Mashiro
- That's the same as being like that Demon in the East... -Mashiro
- Yeah… Exactly.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- That's right, that's the same as what happened to him.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- Just like him, that demon they gave the title of Maou... -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- Mashiro, you have been declared a threat to the existence of all humans in the world. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
Mashiro places one of her hands on her head and lowers her face a little, directing her gaze downwards and appears frustrated when she hears this.
- And just like it was with him.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- You also received a title befitting the threat you represent to them. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
Mashiro had completely lost her light and playful composure at that moment.
- Oh.. -Mashiro
But soon after realizing this, she quickly returns to normal, despite having a much more serious look now.
She raises her face, looking at Attoutekina.
- They called you Hametsu no Kyuuketsuki. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- A threat to humanity? -Mashiro
- Hametsu no Kyuuketsuki? -Mashiro
- I? So me? -Mashiro
- What kind of joke is this? -Mashiro
- I even understand that some people are afraid of me.. -Mashiro
- But all of them? What nonsense.. That doesn't make sense.. -Mashiro
- An appointment of this magnitude would only happen with the support of the vast majority… -Mashiro
- No.. Most likely this would only happen with a unanimous consensus.. -Mashiro
- How did this happen? -Mashiro
- There's something wrong... -Mashiro
- Am I missing something? -Mashiro
Mashiro changes her expression, who until now was constantly laughing and smiling, for the first time that night, she appears truly irritated.
She was clearly angry hearing all that.
- I helped them with the Green Dragon and Leviathan incidents. -Mashiro
- They certainly haven't forgotten that.. -Mashiro
- Several of them owe me for this… -Mashiro
Mashiro said this irritably, while everyone there was far away without being able to hear what they were talking about, they noticed the sudden change in her expressions.
On the other hand, there was someone who was seeing and hearing everything that was happening there in that room from the beginning, even though he was far from everyone.
Soul, who was lying there practically like a corpse without even being able to blink, was still conscious, even in that state.
To others he seemed to be dead, but even though he couldn't move or speak, he was still alive, and he could see and hear very well what everyone there was talking about, even though they were far away from him.
[Mashiro...] -Soul
- You're right, they didn't forget. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- But that was precisely why... -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- There is!? -Mashiro
- That was precisely why Mashiro. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- For being so strong as to kill a Green Dragon and confront its army of monsters.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- And above all.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- To be able to hold off the destruction of that Leviathan until it decided to retreat, that was something unprecedented… -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- After all, Leviathans alone are considered walking natural catastrophes, and yet you managed to achieve such a feat alone.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- So it was these things that led them to make this decision. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- These events that led them to fear their strength and power up to this point Mashiro. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- Combining these facts with pressure from opponents, they managed to change the vote of those in their favor. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- From the point of raising their threat level from any intelligent monster… Up to the level of a calamity like that of the Maou. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- No, even so, them making this decision doesn't make sense. -Mashiro
- Even though I attracted a lot of attention with these 2 events in particular, I am far from being as well-known and feared an individual as that Maou. -Mashiro
- I haven't done anything that big of a negative to draw this kind of unwanted attention. -Mashiro
- Above all, there are some among them, who I'm sure would stay by my side no matter what happened, or at the very least would oppose the idea.. -Mashiro
- But…. -Mashiro
- If it still got to that point. -Mashiro
She covers her mouth again and goes back to thinking in silence for a while, and seems to notice something.
- I see.. -Mashiro
She directs her gaze to the group in front of the entrance for a moment.
- So that was it. -Mashiro
- I really didn't expect that. -Mashiro
- Haha.. -Mashiro
- Looks like I miscalculated things again. -Mashiro
Mashiro closes his eyes briefly.
She appears to be irritated while saying this, she stops covering her mouth with her hand and keeps her fist closed in front of her face.
Mashiro opens her eyes and closes both of her fists, and because she is putting so much force into closing them, they start to bleed until they start to flow and drip blood onto the floor.
- Again, I made a mistake again, it's the third time I've made a mistake, and this time it was in such a short time. -Mashiro
- What the hell... -Mashiro
- You would be disappointed in me if you knew that too.. -Mashiro
- No, actually I wouldn't be... -Mashiro
- Is not it? -Mashiro
- I admit that this is one of the things I love about you… -Mashiro
- Hehe.. -Mashiro
After a small laugh, she smiles and takes a deep breath.
- But at least that last one won't bother me so much that it gets in my way. -Mashiro
He just watched her in silence as she showed her anger and frustration.
- So even you can make expressions like that? -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- It's the first time I've seen her like this, she's very different from her usual self. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- I didn't think you were irritated or frustrated about anything. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
Mashiro lowers his fist and puts his hand on his waist, and looks back at him.
- Of course, sometimes I get... -Mashiro
- After all, I'm just a normal girl like any other. -Mashiro
- Is she a normal girl? -Attoutekina Fubatsu
He looks down and sees that she is still pressing hard on his other fist.
- Yes, it's true.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- Normal indeed. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- But of course I'm quite a woman too! -Mashiro
Attoutekina starts to laugh and so does she.
At that moment she stops clenching her other fist tightly, and opens her hand again.
Mashiro, who was laughing a little, has a sad expression.
- So that's why they did all that. -Mashiro
- In the end it was really my fault, for having made the mistake again then. -Mashiro
Attoutekina notices the change in her expressions.
- What do you mean by all that? -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- She, the Alliance of Continents didn't just come after me, while you were sent to kill me. -Mashiro
- They sent others after my family, and I'm not referring to those who are here. -Mashiro
- But yes to our entire family, anyone who had a blood relationship with us. -Mashiro
- All of them? -Attoutekina Fubatsu
Attoutekina didn't seem to know what she was talking about.
- Yes, they didn't just come after us, they went after all our relatives who had some blood relationship with us, whether they were close or distant, it didn't matter to them. -Mashiro
- They did this earlier today. -Mashiro
- There is? What you mean? And how can you know this? -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- Everyone in our family had a Mana crystal that I made and left with them when I visited them a long time ago. -Mashiro
- I made them to be used to observe the place where they were and as communication. -Mashiro
- So that's why I know exactly what happened and when it happened. -Mashiro
- That's why I saw everything they did. -Mashiro
Mashiro has a sad expression.
- They went after all of them Attou-chan.. -Mashiro
- I saw them through the Mana crystals. -Mashiro
- I saw them kill them all, from my parents' brothers to their wives, husbands, their children, grandchildren, children and so on. -Mashiro
- I couldn't go there to help they, I knew you guys would come after me today, so I couldn't leave here. -Mashiro
- And even if I were.. -Mashiro
- I wouldn't arrive in time, after all they were all attacked at the same time, it was a well-coordinated attack. -Mashiro
- The only thing I could do was watch from here as they screamed in pain and agony, asking for help and help.. -Mashiro
- Asking them to have mercy and forgive them, or to at least spare the children. -Mashiro
- Oh, and of course, they didn't spare them in the end. -Mashiro
- But how funny isn't it? -Mashiro
- Forgive them for what... Isn't it? -Mashiro
- What should they be forgiven for? -Mashiro
She then opens her left hand and slams her closed right hand over it, as if she has understood something.
- Oh! I already know! -Mashiro
- It was because they were my relatives! -Mashiro
- They should be forgiven for that. -Mashiro
- I understand, I understand.. -Mashiro
Attoutekina doesn't know how to react to what she's saying.
As she talked about this, her expression of sadness gradually became greater and greater.
At that moment she faces Attoutekina.
- Attou-chan.. There were pregnant women among them.. -Mashiro
- And they even killed the babies.. -Mashiro
- Mere newborns… -Mashiro
- Until there are none left... -Mashiro
- Until there's no one left... -Mashiro
Upon hearing this, Attoutekina's expression changes completely.
- Did they go that far? -Attoutekina Fubatsu
Attoutekina shows an expression of hatred and anger.
- Killing enemies who can defend themselves is one thing. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- But going after children, someone who can't even run properly yet, or worse...
- Someone who can't even walk or stand on their own. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
Attoutekina lowers her irritated face.
- That was despicable and outrageous in another way. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- True, isn't it? -Mashiro
Attoutekina turns her gaze back to Mashiro and sees that she no longer has a sad expression, and is smiling again.
Attou opens her mouth thinking about saying something, but before she can.
- I can't blame them for that, can I? -Mashiro
- After declaring me a threat, they are at war with me, right? -Mashiro
- With that, anyone connected to me in any way can be considered an ally.. -Mashiro
- And in a war, if you leave any survivors... -Mashiro
- He could end up coming back later, stronger and wanting revenge, and with that he could cause problems. -Mashiro
- So they made the right decision by causing the extermination of our entire family and everyone connected to us. -Mashiro
- Mashiro you.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- Oh, don't mind me. -Mashiro
- I was just thinking out loud. -Mashiro
Mashiro places both hands on her waist and smiles.
- Before I hadn't understood how they knew about the existence of all my relatives or how they got to them. -Mashiro
- But now that I understand what happened, everything makes sense. -Mashiro
- And well, what's over is over, there's no point dwelling on the past. -Mashiro
- And I have other things to worry about, don't I? -Mashiro
At that moment, Attoutekina sees some blood begin to flow from his mouth.
- It's... It's true, you have... -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- But seriously Attou-chan! -Mashiro
- Hametsu no Kyuuketsuki? -Mashiro
- Really? -Mashiro
- Where did they get that from? -Mashiro
- That name has nothing to do with me! -Mashiro
- Well... That demon from the east who received the title of Maou. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- He leads the demons into battle, like their leader, a king.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- And Maou means: The King of Demons… -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- Then it makes sense. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- Yes, his! But what about mine? It seems like a bad joke! -Mashiro
- Well, the title you received, Hametsu no Kyuuketsuki. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- It was to show that you are an equivalent threat to him.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- And Hametsu no Kyuuketsuki, means.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- The Vampire of Ruin.. -Mashiro
- Yeah.. Exactly.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- That's why I'm asking: Is this serious? -Mashiro
She really seemed to be indignant at the title given to her.
- I don't remember bringing anything to ruin! -Mashiro
- Well, actually you took some things. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- There is? Like what? -Mashiro
- The society of Wizards and Witches while pretending to be human.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- You had the fastest advancement in rank to reach the highest level that a Wizard and a Witch could achieve, I even heard that it was something similar for adventurers too. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- It was the fastest advance in all of history since that sick Victor Frankenstein. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- And with that, receiving the title of Ritsusha no Majutsushi among magicians, which is when you master 10 or more spells from each of the 6 elements. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- And the title of Shihaisha no Majo among Witches, which is when you can use 10 or more spells from each of the 6 elements without having to use a magic circle to cast them. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- You managed to acquire these titles faster than that Victor did, and as crazy as he was.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- They still had to admit and accept the fact that he was a genius when it came to magic. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- And even after more than 700 years of his death, no one had managed to break his record. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- Until you show up, of course. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- So I think it's very fitting, the name they gave you... -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- It has nothing to do with that, besides, anyone can get these titles, as long as they put a lot of effort into studying and practicing magic. -Mashiro
- You yourself are an example of this, after all you also reached the highest rank as a wizard, and achieved the title of Shihaisha no Mahoutsukai.. -Mashiro
- But it wasn't easy at all... And I wasn't referring to that. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- True! You were talking about how the name they're calling me has a cool and befitting meaning! -Mashiro
She laughs and makes a mocking face.
-But nothing compares to her name, right? -Mashiro
- Attoutekina Fubatsu! -Mashiro
- After all, it means: Invincible Crusher!! Haha! -Mashiro
Mashiro puts his hand over his mouth and starts laughing uncontrollably.
- Oh you!! -Attoutekina Fubatsu
-Haha! You asked for it! Haha ha!! -Mashiro
He laughs a little too.
- Right, I deserved it and you got me in it.. Haha.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
He stops laughing and starts smiling.
- My parents wanted me to be strong when I was born, so they thought that if they gave me a name with a meaning like that it would influence something. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- Well, and it worked, didn't it? Hahaha.. -Mashiro
- Yeah, it worked.. Haha.. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- I hate to admit it, but whether this custom was true or not, it ended up working in some way or another, and I became as strong as they wanted... Hahaha. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- Some regions and certain countries believe that giving names with certain meanings to their children will influence their growth. -Mashiro
- As something going in accordance with or influenced by the meaning of the name given to them. -Mashiro
- But it's not like there's anything concrete or proof that proves the effectiveness of this. -Mashiro
- Yes, but even so, my parents were from the East and also believed in this custom that had been passed on to them by my grandparents, so they carried the tradition forward. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- But I prefer to be called just Attou, Mashiro. -Attoutekina Fubatsu
- I know, Attou-chan. -Mashiro
- And your name has an interesting meaning too, doesn't it? -Attou
- Mashiro: Pure White. -Attou
- Walker: Walker. -Attou
- Branco Puro Andarilha or Andarilha Branco Puro, the order depends on the country and region, but it's still the same. -Attou
- Yes, it's true.. Haha.. -Mashiro
They both smile and there is a brief silence between them.
Attou looks sideways, as if he wanted to look at those behind him, and then turns his gaze to Mashiro.
- Mashiro, for me you were never a monster, I never thought of you as one. -Attou
- You were, and still are, one of the few opponents I recognized. -Attou
- You are one of the greatest opponents I have ever faced and one of the most worthy of respect. -Attou
- That's why I'm here now, with my coming, I managed to prevent the other Emperors of the West from accepting the offer and coming too.. -Attou
- And now with our conversation, I informed you about everything I had learned so far.. -Attou
- And as I had requested at that time, I tried to talk about as many things related to magic and wizards as possible in the most expository way possible. -Attou
- But I don't know how all this would be useful to you in any way. -Attou
- You should already know all this. -Attou
- Unless you're just trying to save time. -Attou
- Well, that wasn't exactly for me. -Mashiro
She looks sideways without moving her head, in the direction where Soul was lying.
- I understand. -Attou
He smiles a little.
- This is the most I can do indirectly to help.. -Attou
Mashiro smiles and shows a happy expression.
- I know, and I really appreciate Attou-chan. -Mashiro
Attou closes his eyes, and opens a big smile then looks at her.
- No... There's still something. -Attou
- Hmm? -Mashiro
- Mashiro... There's still one last thing I can do... -Attou
- Hmm? What you mean? -Mashiro
Mashiro shows that he doesn't understand what he meant by that now.
Attou turns to the group behind him and starts walking towards them, then stops.
- I finished what I had to talk to her, you can do whatever you want now. -Attou
One of the mages in the group speaks up.
- You? How about you? -Unknown Apostle 2
- Attoutekina.. Are you insinuating something with this? -Unknown Apostle 2
They all had their eyes on Attou and others began to speak out as well.
- Insinuating? No, I'm being very clear, I said: You. -Attou
- I'm not going to join you in this joke you're calling a fight. -Attou
- Joke? How dare you say something like that in this situation? -Unknown Wizard 19
- And am I wrong? Here we have an army of wizards of this magnitude, bringing together the elite of each country, and even including criminals, all to face a single opponent... If this isn't a joke, what else is? -Attou
- Not to mention the other 22 who are there outside the entrance to the hall trying to go unnoticed by hiding behind you.. -Attou
- Honestly, only the weak fight in groups.. -Attou
- Even more so, in groups as large as this… -Attou
- This is ridiculous. -Attou
- And I'm not going to participate in that.. -Attou
- Attoutekina Fubatsu you can't be serious or are you!?? -Unknown Mage 30
- Of course I'm serious.. Anyway, I'm just going to watch your confrontation.. -Attou
- This huge amount of wizards in itself is a joke. -Attou
- And I will not be part of it. -Attou
- Wait, Attoutekina, this is… -Unknown Mage 19
-That's… -Unknown Mage 19
Unable to find words to deny Attou's arguments, he stays silent and looks away.
Some seem to not like what Attou is saying, but do nothing, while others seem to only care about that, everyone reacts in their own way to what he said.
- Oh, and by the way, I don't need to be forgiven for my crimes and I never gave it any importance, so whatever. -Attou
- If you weren't going to fight, why did you come? Just to talk to her? -Unknown Wizard 20
- That's right. -Attou
- Just like some of you were saying, this was going to be her last night. -Attou
- So obviously I would want to meet her. -Attou
- Yeah, I wanted to talk to her... - Attou
- She was a great opponent that I had, one last time... -Attou
- Even though she's a monster? -Unknown Apostle 4
- Yes, even though she is a monster. -Attou
- Hmm… -Unknown Apostle 4
- Well, in the end it doesn't matter, not for you... -Attou
- Tsk, you are as arrogant as the rumors said. -Unknown Wizard 21
- Hmph, what an idiot. -Unknown Wizard 22
- Oh! But if you all end up dead, then it's a different story. -Attou
- Then in that case, I will face her, so don't worry. -Attou
- If that's the case, then we just let you fight her alone then… -Unknown Mage 23
- True. -Unknown Wizard 24
- That's right. -Unknown Wizard 25
- I don't care either. -Unknown Wizard 26
- Me neither. -Unknown Wizard 27
- Ahem, of course! As if she can only focus on our fight while you all are here wanting her head. -Attou
- And even if she managed to, as soon as she left her guard open towards you for even a moment, they would attack her in the middle of our fight right away without thinking twice. -Attou
- Or when she was tired of our fight, you would intervene, wanting to give her the final blow.. -Attou
- You would even kill me if you had the opportunity. -Attou
- Don't try to fool me, you idiots. -Attou
- I'll finish you off before then. -Attou
When he said this, they stopped questioning him, but not because they were afraid.
But they look like: I thought he was dumber, but he's actually quite smart.
- Anyway, I'm going to watch everything now from the second floor, and you do as you see fit. -Attou
- I do not care. -Attou
Before Attou did anything else, some mages started to come from inside the hall's entrance.
They all wore similar or the same light cloaks, their heads were covered by a hood, but their faces and the ends of their hair were visible, among them there were men and women.
It was the 22 magicians that Attou had mentioned who were still hiding there.
Attou looks at them with an angry face.
- What it was? -Attou
- Do you want to say something to me? -Attou
One of them smiles and nods his head.
- Oh yes? -Attou
Attou then jumps to the second floor of the hall and leaves them all as they were.
Some of the group of mages were visibly irritated by his attitude.
Then while they were talking amongst themselves about what had happened, the other hooded wizards who had just arrived start walking forward and jump to the second floor as well.
It was all of them, the 22 from that group.
Everyone left behind reacts differently but at the same time.
Attou, who was also on the second floor, looks at them at the same moment.
Their group was far from Attou, they probably wouldn't be able to hear each other from that distance, so they didn't seem to have the intention of talking to him.
Noticing that Attou was staring at them, this time another mage from their group looks at him and smiles, and nods positively at him.
Then he turns his attention to the hall where Mashiro and the group of magicians were.
Attou finds their attitude a bit strange and begins to reflect in a low voice.
- Are they wizards, witches? -Attou
- Or maybe adventurers? -Attou
- It's hard to say with that cloak covering your entire body.. -Attou
- And even more so with the amount of mana I feel from them, are they suppressing it? -Attou
- With that amount of mana, some of them seem like average or above average mages at most, but nothing too impressive. -Attou
- Or are they very good or are they just that? -Attou
Attou seems thoughtful about this, but ends up letting it go and also turns his gaze to the room.
- Don't let your guard down.. Mashiro.. -Attou
Among those who remained in the hall below, there were some who were caring about what had happened and others who were not.
Some even shouted towards them when they saw that, but they had no response.
- What are they doing? -Unknown Wizard 28
- Hey! Are you going to follow Attou with this nonsense? -Unknown Wizard 29
- What does that mean? -Unknown Mage 30
One of the 22 individuals from that group who jumped to the second floor approaches the second floor guardrail and looks down at them.
- What does that mean? -Hooded Wizard 1
- What are we doing? -Hooded Wizard 1
- So many meaningless questions with such an obvious answer. -Hooded Wizard 11
- It doesn't mean anything and we're not doing anything. -Hooded Wizard 1
- From the beginning we have not been your allies. -Hooded Wizard 1
- You yourselves are not allies of each other. -Hooded Wizard 1
- We were only sent to observe your fight against this monster and report your performance, nothing more and nothing less than that. -Hooded Wizard 1
- So from the beginning, we were going to do this anyway, nothing changed. -Hooded Wizard 1
As soon as he finishes speaking, another of those in the group of cloaked individuals approaches him and begins to speak as well.
- Just like the result doesn't matter to us. -Hooded Wizard 2
This time, from her visible appearance and voice, she was a woman.
- What? -Unknown Wizard 31
- It doesn't matter? -Unknown Wizard 32
- What do you mean it doesn't matter? -Unknown Wizard 33
- So try hard so you don't die. -Hooded Wizard 2
She then smiles at them.
- Can you stop this? -Unknown Wizard 34
- There is? -Unknown Mage 35
- I was warned about this, that there would be some people who would be sent just to report on this confrontation. -Unknown Wizard 34
- Some of you must have been warned personally too. -Unknown Wizard 34
- Were they silent just to see this mess? -Unknown Wizard 34
- Furthermore, this was in the report about the monster, that there would be someone to report how the confrontation went. -Unknown Wizard 34
- You should have read it in its entirety, even though it was that big, it had important information in it. -Unknown Wizard 34
- And all this so that false reports are not sent? -Unknown Wizard 36
- Probably. But I didn't expect them to send so many just for that. -Unknown Wizard 34
- Maybe they were afraid that just one would die too easily and sent several to see if at least one could come back alive? -Unknown Mage 30
- As weak as they appear to be, that may be the case. -Unknown Wizard 37
- Perhaps. -Unknown Wizard 34
- Hm... So that was it? -Unknown Mage 35
- They don't trust us? -Unknown Wizard 28
- And why would they trust? -Unknown Wizard 19
- True. -Unknown Wizard 22
- Yes, after all there are criminals, renegades, wanderers and several other types of individuals with us. -Witch 1
- And everyone from different regions or countries too. -Unknown Wizard 34
- Really - Unknown Wizard 26
Katz starts walking and becomes separated from the group, and he jumps to the second floor and lands next to Attou.
Attou looks at him, and Katz smiles as he stands up, then turns to the room.
- I decided not to participate in this either, I'm not a fan of such big groups either. -Katz von Mut
This time they didn't even question or try to argue about something, they just looked at each other and understood the situation.
- Well, we in the Empire don't need anyone's help, right?... -Unknown Mage 21
- Definitely not, and probably those there will observe us to see the extent of our strength in relation to the monster and report this later to our superiors. -Unknown Wizard 22
- We have to prove ourselves superior to these criminals or we will lose the trust and respect that our respective kingdoms and empires have in us. -Unknown Mage 30
- That and losing our title and position if we are surpassed by them too. -Unknown Wizard 29
- But just the fact that we don't have to fight alongside that filthy human environment makes me more satisfied. -Unknown Wizard 29
The wizard in question begins to speak with an arrogant tone looking at Katz.
- Even though he is a Duke of an allied nation, they are all just a bunch of filthy half-humans, they will never be like us. -Unknown Wizard 29
- His Noble title is worthless outside his country, and his reputation already shows how he and everyone in his country are nothing more than a bunch of wild animals pretending to be human. -Unknown Wizard 29
- I agree, and also with him and Attoutekina out of the fight, I feel calmer since I won't have to worry about my back. -Unknown Wizard 26
- It's true, I was also worried about them since they interacted with her before here, so it's better anyway. -Unknown Wizard 31
After that, they all turn their gaze to Mashiro
- So let's show them who is superior to who here. -Unknown Mage 30
- Let's finish this monster. -Unknown Wizard 31
Even listening to their conversation and receiving that arrogant look from the wizard, Attou just smiles back at him without showing discomfort, Mashiro then laughs out loud.
- Hahahahaha!!!! -Mashiro
- You talk too much… -Mashiro
She looks at them smiling with a sarcastic tone.
- Are there a lot of familiar faces here? -Mashiro
- And you haven't changed anything…. -Mashiro
- Nothing at all.. -Mashiro
- You were jealous of my talent, power and the achievements I achieved. -Mashiro
- And they were scared to death that I could take your position when they still thought I was human. -Mashiro
- I guarantee they celebrated when they found out that I wasn't human and found justification for my triumphs where you failed, I guarantee they said: Ah, that's why she was so strong and could do things faster than anyone, it was the power of her monster. -Mashiro
- It was something like that, wasn't it? Hahaha -Mashiro
- And now that they've discovered that I'm not human, they're eager to take out all the anger, frustration and humiliation they've experienced or felt because of me, whether it's justified or not. -Mashiro
- That's why they came to kill me, right? -Mashiro
Saying this, she gives a big smile.
- What not? -Mashiro
- Arrogance and envy are complicated things, aren't they? -Mashiro
- Hahaha… -Mashiro
One of the wizards laughs and looking at her begins to speak.
- You can say whatever you want Mashiro.. -Unknown Wizard 43
- No….. In other words… -Unknown Wizard 43
- You can say whatever you want, you monster… -Unknown Wizard 43
- After all, that's what you are after all. -Unknown Wizard 43
- A monster. -Unknown Wizard 43
- It's just that. -Unknown Wizard 43
- Everything you did and achieved was because of the strength and monster power you possess. -Unknown Wizard 43
- You are nothing like us, who had to study, learn and train to the limit of physical and mental exhaustion, until our bodies began to give in, and literally bleed because of all our effort. -Unknown Wizard 43
- A monster like you would never understand what it's like to work so hard for something like that. -Unknown Wizard 43
- After all, you conquered everything so easily and quickly with your strength and monster power, right? -Unknown Wizard 43
The wizard who was speaking and almost everyone else present there starts to smile or laugh, but Mashiro doesn't seem to care about it at all.
- Hm... -Mashiro
- Maybe I'm wrong... -Mashiro
- Yeah, maybe... -Mashiro
- Or.. -Mashiro
- Maybe not... -Mashiro
The wizard then stops laughing and speaks again.
- Having said that, it doesn't matter what you say, whether or not you regret everything you did. -Unknown Wizard 43
- Because after all, you will die today, here and now. -Unknown Wizard 43
With a serious look on his face he looks at Mashiro again and smiles.
- You will die.. -Unknown Wizard 43
Mashiro closes his eyes for a brief moment.
- Maybe not. -Mashiro
While all these individuals were talking and appearing to know each other, this did not seem to be the case for Soul, who was trying to keep up with everything that was happening in front of him.
[All these people, I have no idea who they are...] -Soul
[Mashiro seems to know several of them or maybe all of them, I have no idea.] -Soul
[But I don't know any of them, the ones I can see the faces of I've never seen in person before, and I don't know what they're capable of, except for the names of the 2 from before that I've heard Mashiro tell me before.] -Soul
[So even if I've heard of them before, without hearing them say their names, I won't have the slightest idea who they are.] -Soul
[For me they will continue to be just a bunch of strangers, unknowns, no matter how important, well-known or strong they are.] -Soul
[And as they are all wearing cloaks, it is not so simple to differentiate them just by the little appearance that I can see, the best I can do like this is to continue separating them by some characteristic and numbers.] -Soul
[But from what Mashiro is saying, they are all strong and dangerous...] -Soul
Even without being able to move an inch, Soul showed great concern on his face.
[Please be careful..] -Soul
[Mashiro….] -Soul
At the same time they seemed ready to start at any moment, just waiting for the first offensive from either side.
Mashiro, who was smiling, points his open hand at them as if he is inviting them to make the first move.
They all get serious looks and start to be on their guard.
She closes her hand and only has her index finger and thumb, still pointing towards them.
- Before we all start killing each other, don't you people from the East want to resolve this on your own first? -Mashiro
- After all, you have something to resolve with me, right? -Mashiro
- I mean, our little issue? -Mashiro
