Chapter 72: Friend from the land of dreams

This might be the second time I’ve seriously had the urge to kill in my life.

“Wow~, this is amazing~, I didn’t think we would be able to fly through the sky~.” (Cleran)

“Yeah, it is amazing. With this, we can go to the empire in one flight.” (Ura)

“Good job.” (Musashi)

“Yeah, I see you in a damn better light now.” (Farga)

Right now, we’re travelling through the sky.

If we went via a proper land route, no matter much we rushed, it would’ve taken several days to get to the empire.

However, since we’re flying through the sky at this speed, we’ll reach there considerably faster.

The mountains, forests and plains on the ground that I see, constantly change immediately.

Piercing through the clouds in this vast sky, we’re heading straight to the empire.

However, unlike the sky, my mind isn’t clear at all.

“Bro~, I’m seriously so sorry! I didn’t know………… that I could make myself bigger.” (Dorauemon)

Right now, we’re riding the back of a giant dragon.

That dragon isn’t a dragon that Cleran created.

I realized that going by land would take time, so I jokingly said, “alright, Dora, make yourself bigger and let us ride your back,” but instead, Dora said, “ah, okay,” and actually became bigger.

“You asshole! If you were able to make yourself bigger, you should’ve just done that when Cleran was about to eat you!” (Velt)

“Uwaaaaaan, I’m actually so sorry! It just happened!” (Dorauemon)

“You’re actually kidding! How hard do you think I fought to save you from Cleran! So many of my bones got all messed up and broken you know! It was literally a bone-breakingly bad wasted effort!” (Velt)

“Ah, bro, that’s a good one!” (Dorauemon)

“Ahh? Do you want me to show you hell with my fuwa fuwa time?” (Velt)

“Noooo, please forgive me!” (Dorauemon) (TL Note: Velt says 骨折り損 which means wasted effort, but has ‘bone breaking’ in it.)

Dora in its enlargened form is flying while crying, but I really didn’t think he would be able to become bigger.

It was too much of a shock that no one could say anything from amazement.

“But really, no joke, you’re amazing, Dora-chan. This isn’t just making yourself bigger. I don’t quite understand, but you made your body bigger, or rather, created your body from nothing, or just something that exists in the air.” (Cleran)

“Seems like it. If a creature that could produce steel from nothing existed, metal businesses would have been foocking doomed.” (Farga)

“Well, Dora was a creature I didn’t really understand in the first place. Machine dragons are profound.” (Ura)

“Umu. And as I thought, this goshujinsama that created Dora does not seem to be an ordinary person.” (Musashi)

Look okay, don’t go seriously analysing it. How much trouble do you think it gave me trying to save it.

Like, am I the only one with common sense?

See, Chett, the elite, has a dumbfounded expression and an open mouth.

“Oi, Chett, what’s wrong?” (Velt)

“U, um um um um um um um um, Ve Ve Ve Ve, Velt-kun, wha wha wha, what happened to you?” (Chett)

“Well, uh, all sorts of stuff, I guess.” (Velt)

“Prince Farga is fine, and since I met Ura-san once before, that’s fine, okay? But you know, why is that famous monster master Cleran and a demi-human from the special battle force Shinsengumi that’s talked about in the empire, and even the legendary machine dragon with you?” (Chett)

“Well~, thinking about it just seems idiotic so let’s just stop. Rather than that, let’s change the topic.” (Velt)

What happened? Well, it’ll take a long time if I explain it, and rather than what happened, my question is why did it turn out like this.

Rather than that, the question I should be asking is what’s happening right now.

“Hey, Chett. What do you mean Love and Money made a deal with the Maakai demon kingdom? Aren’t they human?” (Velt)

I didn’t think I would hear the name Love and Money like this again.

To be honest, after hearing Miyamoto’s story, I didn’t feel like getting involved with Kagami.

However, from the looks of it, it doesn’t seem to be a situation where I can just ignore him.

“That is…… the truth is, I really don’t know. Just, according to a urgent report, the boss of『Love and Money』,『Mackey Mouse Desneyland』assaulted and destroyed the empire’s port town together with the prince of the Cyclops race.” (Chett)

No no no no no no no, wait a minute.

“Wait wait wait wait, what’s up with that joke of a name?” (Velt)

“Eh, name?” (Chett)

“Love and Money’s boss’ name! What’s up with that joke of a name!” (Velt)

“Ah, ahh, right, you wouldn’t know. Love and Money is an auction organization based in Shiromu that does all sorts of suspicious things behind doors, so they were even marked by the empire.” (Chett)

“No, rather than that, the problem is Mackey Mouse Desneyland. Which land of dreams does he come from?” (Velt)

“Ah, yeah, that’s the name of Love and Money’s boss who’s wrapped in mystery.” (Chett)

“No, I’ll tell you this, but that name is 100% a fake name. You guys are probably being mocked.” (Velt)

“Eh, how would you be able to tell!” (Chett)

Rather than being able to tell, I just know it. It’s that thing, right? How nostalgic.

Mackey Mouse and Desneyland is that thing in Chiba right?

Although it is another world, it’s a name that I can’t brush off as a coincidence.

However, with just this, I read my opponent’s mind.

“He probably doesn’t have any reason. That Mackey-san is probably just screwing around.” (Velt)

“Screwing around…… what are you saying, Velt-kun! I can’t think anyone would bring demons and attack the empire to screw around!” (Chett)

“Normally, you would be right. But this probably isn’t normal.” (Velt)

It’s not like I was particularly close with『that man』.

However, I still remember that he was a talkative playboy.

Samejima said that man was thoughtful of his friends, but it’s already strange whether that was true or not.

At the very least, I’m pretty sure that man lived in this world with a joke as a name, doing auctions and terrorism as a hobby.

“Miyamoto said that man changed, but………… hasn’t he changed weirdly?” (Velt)

But like, can you really think of auctioning and terrorism as a hobby after a while?

What kind of life do you have to walk to reach that kind of area?

I don’t know.

However, I immediately found out that Kagami is messing up this world as a hobby.

That’s because…………

“Velt! Take a look at that!” (Ura)

“Loord! Look up!” (Musashi)

Up? What is it all of a sudden? Rather, what’s above us who are flying through the sky…………

“Eh, ha?” (Velt)

As I thought that, even though it’s still about noon, I felt like the world became dim for a moment.

Rather than being dark, I guess it’s like the sun’s light became weaker.

What’s going on? As I thought that and looked up, a change occurred in the sun that should’ve been radiating brightly.

“Sheet. What’s going on.” (Farga)

“Ehh? The sun, it looks like a mirror?” (Cleran)

It looked like the sun’s surface turned into glass.

Even though I normally wouldn’t be able to look at it directly with my naked eye, just for this moment, I could clearly see the sun’s shape.

What exactly is this? As I thought that, from the sun that turned into a mirror, no, from all over the world, cheerful music was being played.

――――Chanchaaachan♪ Chanchaaachan♪ Chanchaaachan♪

Cymbals, drums, trumpets and the like were being played together like a drum and fife band doing a musical performance…………

『The ruler, of our, world~, is Mackey-san, Mackey-san, Mackey Mackey Mouse♪』

I hear a song that’s completely looking down on people.

And then, a figure showed on the sun that became glass-sided.

That figure was…………

“Wha, what is that!” (Ura_

“Cu, cute………… gohon, what an outrageous appearance!” (Musashi)

“He looks like he’s foocking looking down on us.” (Farga)

“That’s a………… costume?” (Cleran)

“That’s the legendary magic item! The『Circle Mirror』that uses the moon or the sun as a medium to transmit reflections and sound!” (Chett)

“Why is that idiot using this legendary magic item like this.” (Velt)

A mysterious character wearing a mouse costume is singing and dancing.

As expected, this was bewildering.

However, before anything else, the first thing I thought was,

“Like, you’re just plagiarizing!” (Velt)

However, even so, the cheerful music didn’t stop going on.

Everyone in the world was probably making dumbfounded faces, but the whole song kept going on.

And then, a few minutes later. I thought the music finished, but the costume bastard suddenly spread both his hands and started introducing himself.

『Everyooone, nice to meet youuu! I’m from the land of dreams, a friend of good children and the president of Love and Money, Mackey Mouse!』(Mackey)

Frankly, everyone in the world probably thought, “………………Hah?”

However, there was still a lot more to be shocked about.

『Mackey, wait for meee.』(Maney)

『Ah, you’re late you’re late, Maney. Now, introduce yourself!』(Mackey)

Another person wearing a huge mouse costume came out.

This one is different to Mackey because it has a huge pink ribbon on its head.

『Hello~, I’m Love and Money’s vice president, Maney Mouse!』(Maney)

Maney cutely holds the sides of her skirt hem and makes a greeting.

『Geez, Maney, you’re seriously cute~, like, it’s seriously awesome.』(Mackey)

『You’re cool too, Mackey~, yeah, aweso~me.』(Maney)

『Seriously, serious? Like, we’re the best! Yeah, this is seriously getting me going!』(Mackey)

So…………… so frivolous……………

『Rather than that~, Maney~, don’t we have an important announcement for everyone today?』(Mackey)

『Ah, yup yup! You’re right~, today, we have something we want to tell all our friends across the world!』(Maney)

『That’s right, the truth is, we!』(Makey)

『We!』(Maney)

『『Are going to destroy the Archline Empire!』』(Mackey and Maney)

―――Pafupafupafuu♪

“Damn……………… those guys sure are awe, awesome!” (Velt)

Everything was just too unexpected that making tsukkomis seemed too idiotic.
