Chapter 82: The real thing and the small thing

Just because they’re fighting to defend, is humanity the righteous one?

No, if the world had such a simple ‘rewarding good and punishing bad’ structure, people wouldn’t go through so much hardship.

“How dare you~, don’t get carried away, you damn monkey children! Including that tiger girl and the disgrace of a demon who lost her honour, do you bastards even know what you’re guilty of!” (Old Cyclops General)

One old High Cyclops general came and stood in front of humanity’s great allied forces’ advance, as they started counterattacking.

He’s mowing down the advance of the young, new soldiers that are full of motivation, with a huge spear.

“This battle is our holy war! It’s a battle to protect our brethren against the foolish humans who continue invading us demons! To protect our country, family, lovers and friends, we put all of our honour and lives in this battle! Why does that desire have to be hindered by you inexperienced bastards!” (Old Cyclops General)

What they shouldn’t misunderstand here, is that the cyclopes aren’t invading with evil intent.

The cyclopes are fighting with their important things and their world on the line.

“Uoooo, follow the old general!”

“Eradicate the humans!”

“My old man and siblings died in battles against humanity’s great allied forces! I’ll avenge them right here and now!”

It’s not about who is right or wrong, this is just how the current world is.

Really, even though there’s no end to either side, why do they all risk their lives like this……

“Elfarshia style Spearmanship, Evening Shower!” (Farga)

As if saying ‘what about it?’ a merciless spear rained down on the rampaging, hopeful cyclopes.

“Nu-, Farga Elfarshia! The prodigal prince who averted his eyes from war and the flow of the world!” (Old Cyclops General)

“Hmph……… you’re all so foocking noisy. I don’t care about your desires, you damn old geezer. However, this isn’t an action I took on a whim. I did it because I couldn’t abandon the wishes of the stupid younger sister I love and the young soldiers from the Elfarshia Kingdom.” (Farga)

“You jest! For royalty that rules over a country to fight for a personal grudge, learn some shame!” (Old Cyclops General)

“There’s no definition for war. Go die after learning that you’re getting damn conceited to beautify a quarrel where you kill each other.” (Farga)

“Yo, you little, greenhooorn!” (Old Cyclops General)

The desires of the cyclopes…… that kind of thing…… doesn’t matter.

A cyclops protection organization should go make a fuss about it.

If you stay silent, you die. You get killed. Not only yourself but your friends, family and everyone.

So, both are to blame.

“Here I go, Flame Saber, Fire Emperor Madness!” (Barts)

“Fuhahaha, come! Barts Kuruntape! Hit me with everything you have!” (Redrock)

Red hot hellfire against an indestructible force.

They’ve already hit each other with all their power multiple times, so cracks ran through the town and the buildings from the aftermath of it.

However, even though they’re in the middle of that much power, Barts and Redrock aren’t drawing back at all.

“Haa, haa, damn it…… what are you, a monster……” (Barts)

“Good! That was good, Barts! Give me more enjoyment! If I can defeat you, it wouldn’t be strange for humanity’s great allied forces to collapse! So, it would be better for you to be more ferocious!” (Redrock)

“K, keep talking! It’s the same for you since if I defeat you here, it’ll be our win!” (Barts)

In a way, no matter how many allies die, no matter how many enemies get defeated, what controls the outcome, in the end, is whether you can defeat the enemy leader or not.

Although the morale rose from Farga and the others’ intrusion, Barts is the one who’s currently shouldering the main attack of humanity’s great allied forces.

“Uoooo, protect commander Barts! Don’t let any enemies get even a step closer!”

“Go help prince Farga! Don’t let the soldiers of that old general through!”

“Oi, commander Barts’ injuries from the start keep getting worse, so at this rate……”

“Stop it! Barts is challenging him in a one to one battle with everything on the line! If you interrupt them here, you’ll be throwing mud on Barts’ honour!”

“That’s right! Barts will win! Our Barts won’t lose! So, to let them fight without reserve, we need to block any enemies from disturbing them!”

Humanity’s great allied forces shout.

Leave this to us. In exchange, please defeat the enemy general with your own hands.

Those silent words of encouragement reached Barts for sure and became his power.

“Nuguoooooo!”

“Uu-, ruaaaaa!”

However, that was the same for the cyclopes too.

As Redrock’s subordinates, they should fully understand how important a superior officer’s one to one fight is.

Therefore, the cyclopes didn’t try to get involved with them.

“Fuu, fuu, fuu, you really are tough…… Barts…… I didn’t think you could pull out this much power after crossing your limits. Your heart is abnormally strong. Where in the world did you pull out that much from your small body? Why do you go so far?” (Redrock)

Although Redrock was feeling like he was harvesting rice while it’s still green at the start, I can tell he’s getting cold sweat.

It’s because he realized he was pulled into the domain of fighting where he would go to the other world if he averted his eyes from Barts for even a moment.

“Why? It’s to end this period of darkness!” (Barts)

“Kuku, fuhahahahahahaha, well said. Those words don’t seem to just for show. However, you are the one that will die!” (Redrock)

“I’m not going to die! There’s no way I can die! I won’t meet my end in a place like this! I’ll shoulder the souls of those guys that died, and even win against you!” (Barts)

Ahh, you really haven’t changed have you, Barts.

You’ve always been shouting that confusing megalomania with those sparkling, passionate eyes since the past.

Us ten-year-olds from back then got bigger and are now able to stand in a place where we can influence the world.

Even if we don’t know why we were born into this world, there’s no way I can just spit at the world and say it’s worthless like this guy.

“Kuhahahaha, look. That’s Barts. In fantasy terminology, he’s what you would call a champion or a hero, isn’t he? He was my favourite brat, and it was fun making fun of him all the time.” (Velt)

I say that to Kagami, whose head is stuck in the ground.

Without even budging, Kagami just stayed silent.

“If Barts defeats that Red-whatever here, the battle in the capital will lean towards humanity’s great allied forces in one go, you know? Forna’s not going to lose to that kind of posing brat either. Your expectations and production was completely smashed, but how do you feel? Please, tell me your thoughts on it.” (Velt)

Then, in the next moment, Kagami, who hadn’t made any reaction until now, finally moved.

“…… Fu~, ah~, that hurt. I’m awesomely nauseous.” (Mackey)

He suddenly rose up from the ground and somersaulted multiple times at high speed, then started stretching.

“Weeell, I don’t really care? I’m fine as long as I can have fun and in the first place, I’m not interested in who wins the war.” (Mackey)

“Hah, they call that talking back.” (Velt)

Did he recover? His mouth is still talking more or less normally.

However, either way, I need to end this battle since I don’t know what he’s going to do.

“Not really. From the start, I would’ve been happy as long as it amused me. Ah, actually, if you want, I can kill you, play with the pieces of your dead body and show it in the reflection in the sky for you? They’ll probably just think a cyclops did it, so humanity’s anger will reach its highest point. Wouldn’t princess Forna take the initiative to massacre all the demons? How about it, isn’t it an awesomely good idea?” (Mackey)

“Kuhahahaha, that’s an awesomely impossible idea.” (Velt)

“You think? As long as they’re given an excuse, humans start wars really easily, so I’ll try it out.” (Mackey)

“That’s not it. In the first place, a playboy like you can’t kill me, which is why I said it’s impossible.” (Velt)

“……… Aaahahhahha, geez~, you talk back an awesome amount too, or rather……… like, you’re seriously annoying. Just go die already.” (Mackey)

He showed it for the first time. His threatening, low voice.

This guy might’ve really not cared about how the war turned out.

But the one unexpected part was that I showed up.

He probably didn’t want me, who knew his old self, to find any more faults in him, and got seriously irritated.

“You unexpectedly showed your true character pretty easily. Well, that’s just the type of person you are after all. No matter how much you act crazy and try to provoke people, you look like a small thing, compared to Barts and Forna who are the real thing.” (Velt)

“Haa~, I’m just going to stop talking. I’m going to stop screwing around too. I’ll just kill you already.” (Mackey)

“Just try it. I’ve been super super mad since a long time ago.” (Velt)

At that moment, our offence and defence in zero gravity started again.

Kagami attacked using gravity and zero gravity.

I attacked, regardless of what gravity I’m under.

“Gravity field!” (Mackey)

“Fuwa fuwa panic!” (Velt)

If Kagami uses gravity magic, I use a fuwa fuwa technique to jolt Kagami and interrupt him to make him unable to concentrate on his magic.

On the other hand, if I use a fuwa fuwa technique to hit him with boulders, stones or my batons, Kagami uses zero gravity to negate the damage.

That surpassed a simple fist fight and was a battle of nerves that used the surrounding items, the opponent’s clothes and everything.

The one that ends this, will be the one that can exceed the opponent’s expectations at the end.

In that case,

“Here I go!” (Velt)

“Hahaha, there’s no way some awesome suicide attack from the front would work without any scheme…………” (Mackey)

“Fuwa fuwa falling flat!” (Velt)

Did you think all I could do was spin and float you?

If I feel like it, I can pull on your feet or shoes to me, so that you fall over, onto your back.

“Cra-………!” (Mackey)

I made a chance, so there’s no way I’ll let him use magic.

I’ll make him take a blow while he’s fallen over in front of me.

Where? Stomach, crotch or should I smash his arm?

No……

“Don’t keep your panicking face hidden forever………… show me your bare face!” (Velt)

Aiming for the face of the costume in front of me, I hit it with a soccer ball kick.

Mackey Mouse’s head goes flying in the skies of the capital.
