Isekai Tensei – Kimi to no Saikai made Nagai koto Nagai koto

Chapter 73: Humanity’s resistance

Even if it looks really idiotic to me, this world would only be able to look at it fearfully.

Of course they would, after all, two people wearing strange costumes are informing them of the destruction of the world.

The guys in front of me right now are making tense expressions too.

However, from my point of view, Mackey and Maney just look like they’re doing a manzai. (TL Note: Stand up comedy with a straight man (tsukkomi person) and funny man (boke).)

『Hey, by the way, Mackey. Why do we need to destroy the empire?』(Maney)

『That’s an awesome question, Maney. Like, I guess it’s as expected of you? Maney, you’re too cute.』(Mackey)

『You can’t~, smoochy smoochy is for later. Children are watching after all~.』(Maney)

『Eh~, I see~, then I guess it seriously can’t be helped. We’re destroying the empire~, to get rid of wars from this world!』(Mackey)

What is that idiot doing?

But what does he mean by getting rid of wars from this world?

No, by the time I started thinking about what it means, I might’ve already begun riding his pace.

『It’s simp~le. After all~, war is like~, something that only countries with soldiers do, right~? So then, don’t I just have to destroy the country with soldiers~?』(Mackey)

『Mackey you genius! You’re so mesmerising~, so attracting~!』(Maney)

『I know right. Damn, aren’t I like, seriously a genius? Revolutionary! Why didn’t I think of this when I was in Japan?』(Mackey)

Oi, do you actually think that while saying this? You idiot.

No, regardless of whether he actually thinks that or not, it probably doesn’t matter at all to him.

I’m starting to understand that asshole a bit.

“Kuhahahahaha, he doesn’t care as long as he has fun.” (Velt)

That’s right, he has no justice, great cause, hatred or revenge.

He probably feels like he’s just having fun playing a game.

In a way, unlike us, he hasn’t accepted that this world is real.

That’s why he doesn’t feel guilty no matter what he does.

“Wha, what is with that guy.” (Ura)

“He is mad.” (Musashi)

“Sheet, this is disgusting.” (Farga)

“I can’t read his heart at all.” (Cleran)

“Oi, who does that guy think he is!” (Dorauemon)

“To a guy like him! To a guy like him, the peace of the world will! The hope will! Why does he have the qualifications to destroy it!” (Chett)

That’s right, it’s impossible to understand for people like Ura and Musashi who seriously live in this world.

Even if they try to understand what the character Mackey Mouse is thinking, it’s just impossible.

But although it’s just slightly, I felt like I could understand the character Mackey Mouse.

“War, magic and fantasy………… are all probably just absurd to him. Especially for him, who lived easily in his past life too and was fairly a riajuu, probably thinks that burning his soul in a chuunibyou world like this is idiotic. So, he’s going to try out destroying something in an amusing way. That seems about right.” (Velt)

I don’t know what kind of expression he’s making under that costume, but at the very least, I don’t think he has any deep reason or meaning behind destroying the world.

“Oi, Velt, what have you been on about since before? Do you know something about this man?” (Ura)

Do I know something about him? Frankly, I don’t know much.

However, if I don’t try to understand him that deeply and just think of him as a playboy, it’s unexpectedly easy to understand what he’s thinking.

『Hey, how long are you going to be screwing around? I’m going to go already, without doing such worthless things.』(?)

At that moment, I heard a third person whose voice I hadn’t heard before.

“Tha, that guy is!” (Ura)

When his figure appeared, Ura bent herself forward before anyone else.

He’s a young white-haired guy with a small build. He’s pretty young. Maybe around thirteen? Twelve?

He has a pretty flashy outfit, with a mantle and armour that has a bright red, rose ornament.

There’s an eyepatch on his androgynous face.

“The Maakai Demon Kingdom’s sixth prince,『One-eyed Devil Child, Ragaia』 !” (Ura)

Is he Ura’s acquaintance? Well, it wouldn’t be weird for them to know each other since they’re both demons I guess.

“Do you know him?” (Velt)

“Yeah. He’s a prince of the cyclops race. I met him quite a few times when I was younger. He’s around three years younger than us.” (Ura)

“Hm~m………… a brat huh. He even has a spoilt looking face.” (Velt)

“……… That’s right…… he’s no different to before. He always had an expression that looked like he was looking down on the world as if it’s worthless.” (Ura)

I see…… an acquaintance huh…… no, it doesn’t look like that’s it.

It’s like she saw a friend she treated as a younger brother after so long and is looking at him with complicated feelings.

“Huh? Aren’t cyclops like~, supposed to be one-eyed giants? He just looks like a normal demon, doesn’t he?” (Velt)

“That’s right. He is a cursed child that was born from a human slave and the cyclops king, one of the Seven Great Demon Kings. I remember that even his own race and family detested him.” (Ura)

“Ah~, I see, so he’s that type. It’s fine, Ura. I don’t want to listen anymore. Geez, people shouldn’t be making kids if they can’t bless him.” (Velt)

He thinks the world is worthless, huh. If I asked about his lifetime, he could probably write multiple volumes of tragedy stories, but I wasn’t interested in it.

No, I just didn’t get any interest.

『Ohh~, you sure are impatient, prince Ragaia~. Oh right, we need to introduce you to everyone~, he’s the prince of the Maakai Demon Kingdom, and the supreme commander of the Maakai Demon Kingdom army, that is currently in the front! His name is Ragaia-sama, so make sure to remember i~t.』(Mackey)

『Pafupafupafupafu~♪』(Maney)

Mackey and Maney joke around as if breaking the mood.

Then, even though he’s just a brat, Ragaia glared at the two with sharp eyes.

『Don’t get too cocky. The only reason I’m letting you two live is that there is worth in using you. If my mood is harmed, I will kill you two. Okay?』(Ragaia)

『Wa~o, Mackey~, this is a pinch~, I’m scared~.』(Maney)

I see. Mackey is…… using that brat, huh.

“Ragaia, how can this be. Velt, be careful. Ragaia was a detested existence in the demon world, but his innate talent has no limit. If he goes to the front lines, this battle will be quite intense.” (Ura)

A genius boy even in the demon world. A dark hero that has an unfortunate past.

Well, he’s basically fit to be a protagonist.

“Hmph, worthless. I’m not interested.” (Velt)

“Velt!” (Ura)

“That brat has a slight misunderstanding. He isn’t using Mackey. He’s being played with by Mackey.” (Velt)

“Played with? No, what are you say-…………” (Ura)

“Anyway! It doesn’t matter who the enemy is, whether it’s Mackey or Raga-something, I’ll send everyone that makes a move on Forna flying. Isn’t that nice and simple.” (Velt)

Then, if I’m lucky, I’ll beat up that irritating Mackey, Kagami, and make him show his bare face.

I really didn’t want to go at the start, but my chest is beating slightly faster.

It’s the shaking before a fight.

I want to hurry up and send that asshole flying. Sticking to those feelings, I just concentrated my eyes, to look for the empire that I still can’t see.

However, they won’t wait for us to arrive there.

That’s because the war has already started.

『Now, everyone! I climbed the mid-air spiral staircase in the empire’s water fountain park that has beautiful flower gardens and greenery, and am here at the empire’s hanging gardeeeen! This place is a great spot where I can see the whole empireee!』(Mackey)

『If you come here~, with your girlfriend, your proposal will definitely succeed!』(Maney)

『Well then, I guess I’ll go take a look at this awesome town!』(Mackey)

The empire town. In other words, the capital.

The wideness of it far surpasses the Elfarshia Kingdom.

The roads are completely maintained and have rectangular stones buried in without any gaps. As well as that, the structures, houses, shops and number of people are completely different.

However, since they already gained total control of the port town, which is the entrance of the empire, the blazes of war had reached the empire.

In the reflection shown on the sun, it shows a damaged and burning empire, that gives me flashbacks of the sight I saw at Shiromu.

And there, demons with bodies many times larger than humans and characteristic single eyes, are equipped with huge swords, axes, clubs and so on, swarming around the capital.

However, there is one difference to Shiromu.

That is…………

『Simultaneous magic cannon shooting!』

The fact that I can still see humanity’s resistance, along with reverberating loud noises.

『Listen up! They have already advanced to two-tenths of the capital! Don’t let them advance any further! For humanity, for the world, we will hold them back with the pride of us humanity’s great allied forces on the line!』

『『『『『『『『『『Uoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!』』』』』』』』』』

The empire hasn’t fallen yet.

Young soldiers in the same military uniform as Chett replied without even hesitating against those guys that are multiple times larger than them.

Holding a great variety of weapons like staves, swords and bows at the ready, they walked along roofs, ran through back streets and occasionally used artillery to assault the cyclopes.

Among them, I could see faces I hadn’t seen in a while.

Ahh, you guys………… even though it’s been five years, even though we grew, I noticed in a single glance.

They’re my old friends from the Elfarshia Kingdom.

『Listen you guys! Chett will definitely come back with reinforcements! Until then, we’re going to fight by ourselves!』(Shipp)

『I won’t die. There’s no way I could stand dying! I definitely will not die!』(Gau)

Shipp Tonlow, the former tenth place. He’s a commoner’s son whose father is a carpenter.

Gau Skunbitt, the former ninth place. He’s a commoner’s son whose father is a castle guard.

“Uu~ Chett~, come back quickly~.” (Pett)

Pett Asouk, the former eighth place. She’s a high-class daughter of a Duke family.

“What are you scared of. Didn’t we work hard to survive days like this and gain victory!” (Hawk)

“We have no choice…… but to do it……” (Hau)

Hawk Nana, the former sixth place. She’s a war orphan that grew up in the church.

Hau Purunchett, the former fifth place. She’s the daughter of a father who belongs to the chivalric order.

“That’s right. For the world, for humanity, and for our princess!” (Sea)

“Yeah, we definitely can’t lose!” (Sannu)

Sea Chiurom, the former fourth place. He’s the grandson of the current king’s advisor and the former minister.

Sannu Ekamai, the former third place. She’s the daughter of the top company in the capital.

Even though they were such damn brats when they were ten years old, they all became adults.

And…………

『Uoooooooooo, Fire Flash Impact!』(Barts)

That wasn’t the hellfire of the war, but humanity’s counterattack flames.

『Zuryaaaaa, we won’t lose, you damn one-eyed demons! As long as we’re here, we definitely won’t let the capital fall!』(Barts)

Cutting, pulverising, and destroying relentlessly.

Just by himself, a man is crushing the crowd of cyclopes one after the other.

He had the grown-up appearance of the hot-blooded, justice guy that I used to mock.

『Now! The third infantry unit will follow after Barts and charge! Magic and arrow unit, cover them! Go around the side street, and pincer attack them with the fourth unit!』(Shalt)

And then, the pampered kid who I almost made cry in the past, showed quite a wild appearance as a general.

『Wooow! I can’t do anything about this! Awesome, this is awesome! The young warrior combo of humanity’s great allied forces! Barts of the roaring flames, and Shalt of the wind flash! They’re the current candidates of champions! Humanity is really getting going!』(Mackey)

Barts and Shalt.

The genius combo that is outstanding in the army, even among their same year.

As their old friend, seeing their competent figures in the war not only made my chest beat fast, but it even became hot.

However, the thing that made my chest even hotter, is…………

『Wa~o, so cool! But they sure are poor things~. Most of their year are new soldiers that just graduated~. But aaall the stro~ng guys from the empire went to the Divine Being Continent, so they have to fight by themselves~! Good job!』(Mackey)

『Hmph, even without elite forces, this level can’t even be considered an enemy to them. This is why pure cyclopes are just muscle heads that have power.』(Ragaia)

『Oya oya, you sure are strict! You’re awesomely strict, prince Ragaia~! This is a pinch, right?』(Mackey)

『What, it’s just the difference of troops. Besides, if they keep being annoying, then I will personally dispose of them.』(Ragaia)

What made my chest even hotter, is the person near these guys that are calmly observing this fierce battle…………

『Ara, it seems we have been underestimated quite a lot.』(Forna)

She appeared with an imposing air.

『Oya oya, who would’ve known~.』(Mackey)

『Hee, to think you would come of your own accord. Isn’t it careless for a general to come?』(Ragaia)

A sharp expression, shining gold hair, pure white skin that can be seen from below her above knee skirt, and a slender body.

Multiple medals are decorated on the chest of her white military uniform, and her presence is prominent.

『Are you not the people who are careless for using the circle mirror in the centre?』(Forna)

I saw photos of her in the newspaper, but it’s been a while since I heard her voice.

『Could you please not underestimate humanity?』(Forna)

One of the Ten Heroes of Light in humanity’s great allied forces.

Forna Elfarshia.

She’s become quite a good woman.
