Chapter 71: That’s who Velt Jeeha is

Why does it have to be today!

I went on a completely different path to you guys five years ago.

We might have never met again. Even so, you guys went off, holding justice or some great cause in your arms, that I would never understand.

And yet, why do you ask help from me, who went on a completely different path.

“Sheet sheet sheet! You’re foocking kidding me, damn it!” (Velt)

I kicked objects, walls, rubbish from the banquet and everything I could get my hands on.

Over and over and over again, venting my irritation that I couldn’t let out any other way.

“In the first place, what are you saying I can do by going there! I dropped out of the magic academy! Why are you elites depending on a dropout that quit trying to learn magic at the age of 10!” (Velt)

Forna and you guys were supposed to be the hope of humanity.

Wasn’t I supposed to be just a citizen that already can’t reach your level!?

Why are you asking for my help like you would when you get dragged into a fight in the town!

“If you come, our morale will definitely rise! Right now, most of the elite force and our seniors are out, so we’re resisting with Shalt and Barts as the centre, who coincidentally returned, but everyone’s morale won’t last forever! But if you’re there! If you’re there, everyone, and above all, the princess will be able to fight forever!” (Chett)

“Stop joking! Don’t think that the mood we had when we were kids is going to work forever!” (Velt)

I wanted to keep war at a distance. I didn’t want to get involved with it.

Because of that, when I saw the scene at Shiromu that I coincidentally got involved with, those feelings become all the more stronger.

“I’ve been saying this since five years ago! I don’t want to go! I’ve always said that I’m not interested in war!” (Velt)

And yet, why do you have to do this.

“Damn it, despite that, why do you have to say that! Why do you have to say that to me! ………… Stuff like, at this rate, Forna will die…… putting it that way is foul play……” (Velt)

“Velt…… kun……” (Chett)

“If I hear that she’s going to be in a dangerous situation at this rate, there’s no way I wouldn’t go!” (Velt)

Damn it, this pisses me off! I don’t want to go! I don’t want to get involved! I don’t want to die!

“Sheet, sheet, sheet! Forna you damn stupid idiot! If you’re one of humanity’s greatest champions, then just beat them down already!” (Velt)

I want to search for Kamino, you know?

That’s what my life goal is.

Searching for Kamino. That’s Asakura Ryuuma’s unwavering wish.

A hint for that is already in my hands, and I need to go right now no matter what!

How much time do you think I devoted doing that?

How afraid do you think I felt reading the column of people killed in action on the newspaper for these five years!?

How relieved do you think I felt from seeing that your names weren’t on the killed in action column for these five years!?

“Stupid younger brother………… this will derail your life from now in a damn big way. It’s a completely different matter to just a fight. I don’t mind if you leave Forna to me.” (Farga)

“Shut up, Farga. Don’t go check me even though you know what I’m going to say already.” (Velt)

“………… Hmph………… how troublesome.” (Farga)

“I’m serious. For humanity? For the world? That kind of thing won’t move my heart. But there’s no way I leave if I hear that Forna is in a pinch!” (Velt)

Because that’s the thing that not Asakura Ryuuma, but Velt Jeeha will definitely not yield on.

“Kukukuku, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!” (Farga)

Ah………… that’s really rare.

“No way, Farga………… laughed?” (Cleran)

Probably because he hit the bullseye, Farga suddenly burst out into laughter.

My awkward older brother that always intimidates others with his dazzling sharp eyes, seems so happy.

“Kukukuku, as expected of my stupid younger brother. That troublesome yet simple way of thinking is just like you.” (Farga)

“Wha-, what, are you making fun of me?” (Velt)

“Nah. I’m in a damn good mood.” (Farga)

Simple, huh. Well, I guess so.

It’s not like me to seriously worry about my traumas of the past, as Ura and Musashi do.

I have no choice but to help her since she’s in a pinch.

Thinking about it simply like that is more like me.

So, although I was really irritated, I feel a bit better now.

“Obviously, I don’t think just the two of us will be able to do anything. We’ll be like a drop in the ocean.” (Velt)

“Who cares. I’ll massacre everyone that makes a move on my stupid younger sister other than my stupid younger brother.” (Farga)

Ahh, I have nothing to do with whatever happens.

I’ll go. I just have to go, don’t I!

Even if it’s just us two, I definitely won’t let her die!

Who cares about the customs of war!

“Just the two of you? It seems I have been looked down on.” (Ura)

“Lord. What are you going to do on a battlefield while leaving your right-hand man behind?” (Musashi)

At that moment, Ura and Musashi stood behind us with smiles, as we were about to go straight away.

“You guys…… no, wait a minute. Wouldn’t it be bad for you guys to go?” (Velt)

It’s because these guys have slightly different appearances.

However,

“Ura, we’re going up against demons you know?” (Velt)

“So what? We are in a world where even humans kill each other. Besides, it’s a good chance to show off to that woman how much my bond with you has deepened in these five years.” (Ura)

“Musashi. Didn’t Esamu tell you to kill me if I participate in wars?” (Velt)

“What are you saying. Chief only told me to do that if lord changes. However, even now, you are still you, my lord. Therefore, I will accompany you to any deadly place.” (Musashi)

Waaao, what reliable women.

“Just leave it aaall to me, otouto-kun, Farga. Oneechan will help you out as much as she can.” (Cleran)

“Wait, are you coming too! Cleran!” (Velt)

“Obviously~. Besides, I need to gather some points from Farga’s imouto-chan here~.” (Cleran)

And then, slipping into the confusion…………

“Uwaaaann, bro, please don’t leave me behiiind! If you guys aren’t here, I won’t be able to return to goshujinsama!” (Dorauemon)

That’s right, slipping into the confusion, Cleran and even Dora jumped at me.

“Geez, every single one of you are reckless idiots. This really is the best.” (Velt)

As long as we get into the mood, we would even risk our lives. Well, isn’t this fine?

It’s way easier to understand than talking about some poor justice or a great cause.

“Are you guys going?” (Hunter)

“Um~, well, we~, uh, sorry, but~.” (Kuri)

Then, the Hunters apologized to us with apologetic faces.

However, there isn’t even a bit of reason for them to apologize to us.

That’s because I would have just abandoned them and think it’s stupid to risk my life for it if Forna and the others weren’t there.

So, you don’t have to apologize to us for something like this.

“Take good care of the hot spring.” (Velt)

“I’m going to come if it gets foocking dirty.” (Farga)

“Make sure to split the female and male sides!” (Ura)

“We will definitely go in once we return.” (Musashi)

“I haven’t entered yet~.” (Cleran)

“Even if my body rusts, I’ll still go in!” (Dorauemon)

To our words, the Hunters all powerfully struck their chests with wet eyes.

““““Yeah, leave it to us!”””” (Hunters)

Yeah, I will. After saying that, we turned our backs on them.

“Uu~, Ve, Velt-kun…… Velt-kun, thank you………… thank you…… you really haven’t changed.” (Chett)

“Look okay~, Chett. I can take that as you saying I haven’t grown, okay?” (Velt)

“No, you are always eccentric. That’s why I’m happy.” (Chett)

“Oi oi, if you’re going to cry, do it after everyone’s safe. And then, I’ll go complain to that princess who left behind her ex-boyfriend for five years.” (Velt)

“Calling yourself an ex-boyfriend, that’s so mean! You know, you’re misunderstanding, but princess Forna still thinks about you so much.” (Chett)

“Yeah yeah.” (Velt)

“Ahhh, you don’t believe me!” (Chett)

The enemy is a demon king army that’s attacking humanity’s greatest country, the『Archline Empire』.

What will change by us five and one pet going to them?

However, strangely, none of us said that.

For some reason, the moment these members came together, I thought, that ‘it might actually go well’.

“Alright, let’s go! I’ll show how lovey-dovey I am with Ura and Musashi to that stupid woman who left me to go to war, but isn’t useful at all, and show that there’s no room for you to come in! But if someone interrupts me from doing that, I’ll knock them flying no matter what species they are!” (Velt)

“““Oooooooooooooooh!!!””” (Everyone)

It’s not like I’m underestimating war by saying that.

We’ll surely be able to do something?

No, we shared something close to belief that we could do something.
