Chapter 199: The Reunion of the S-Rank Heroes

Kirihara Takuto, wearing his Hero garment.

He was approaching my way.

Thereupon, he stopped in front of me.

[Thank goodness Kirihara-kun, youre safe.]

[You acting like this huh?]

[Eh?]

[Sogou You are worried about me?]

[Eh? Yes I heard that the Great Demon Emperor had appeared in the East. So]

[Dont tell me, youre thinking that this me is going to lose to the Great Demon Emperor? Or is it that youre lacking in imagination?]

Something seemed to be bothering him.

Thereupon, the two other high-ranked Heroes that were dispatched to the Eastern Army also appeared in the square.

The Takao Sisters.

From the looks of it, they dont seem to be injured.

(It seems like Hijiri-san and Itsuki-san is also alright Thank goodness.)

[Ah- Speaking of which, Kirihara-kun]

I changed the subject.

[You may already know this but Umm, Oyamada-kun had]

[That naturally came into my ears, Sogou]

[Yes Oyamada-kun is now]

[You killed the Great Demon Emperors Confidant huh?]

Interrupting my words, Kirihara asked.

(Eh?)

This feels disturbing.

(Hes not talking about Oyamada-kun?)

[From what I heard, he was some sort of big deal called Second Oath or something like that If youre trying to show off your current status, its not my responsibility to stop you]

[Why dont you just straight up say that youre bothered about the status difference between you and President?]

The one who interrupted his monologue was Takao Itsuki.

Looking like hes surprised, Kirihara brushed his bangs to his back.

[You just dont understand, Itsuki. Its not that Im not being obvious. Sogou brought down the Second Oath of the Confidants, but on the other hand, the Great Demon Emperor escaped wit his tail between his legs The evidence is quite evident, it cant be any more obvious.]

In the midst of all this, the turmoils in my heart continue to grow.

Wasnt Kirihara worried about Oyamada Shogou?

I looked at Kiriharas group behind him.

At first, they too were about to run up to Kirihara when he was approaching.

But now, they seemed to be hesitating.

Itsuki turned the conversation towards me.

[Anyway, it seems that President has finally learned your inherent skill huh?]

[Eh? Yes, well]

[Kukuku, with that, Kirihara cant swing around his huge face in front of the President huh?]

[? Me? Swinging around a huge face?]

His hand that was stroking the back of his neck stopped, as Kirihara flung a displeased glance towards Itsuki.

[I dont remember something like that happening. Dont just make things up as you please, Itsuki]

Itsuki glares back at him.

[Shaddup Youre the bast*rd whos boasting about the retreat of the Great Demon Emperor as if its your credit alone. That guy retreated because of Elder Sisters]

[Thats enough, Itsuki.]

Hijiri stopped Itsuki from talking.

[But Elder Sister]

[Its true that the growth of Kirihara-kuns inherent skills held back the wave of enemies from the Eastern Invasion Force.]

[You have turned into my flatterer huh, Hijiri. But well..]

Kirihara snorted.

[I can see that youre not completely blind regarding what this king sees. Even though youre always going to be her flunky, Itsuki, you should at least learn something from Hijiri Thats right, learn something from her. You have my consent.]

Groaning, Itsuki held unto her sisters arm.

[Uuuu~]

And then, Itsuki pressed her forehead on her sisters arm.

[This guy is seriously troublesome to talk to.]

[It cant be helped, its a different world after all.]

Replying with her with an answer that doesnt seem to answer anything, Hijiri turns towards me.

[More importantly, Sogou-san, is your body alright?]

Somewhat happy to hear Hijiris caring words, my face involuntarily relaxed.

[I think Ill be able to recover but I think it will take some time before I can get back to tip top shape.]

After a brief pause, Hijiri opened her mouth.

[Were those injuries from your battle with the Confidant called Second Oath?]

These werent injuries that Zweikzeed dealt to me.

Rather, I didnt really mind these wounds cut by his blood sword.

Its just that the burden from releasing my limits is now showing its effects.

But my body isnt broken I know that.

Its just that its taking me some time to recover.

However

(Even with a Heros status corrections, I cant believe this technique still has this much burden on my body)

I have just released a single strand among my limiters.

It is said that in the past, there were masters who were able to control several of these strands.

They were called Pinnacle Beings at those times.

(Even though its still hard for me to imagine releasing two of those strands)

Will I be able to reach that realm if I continue to train myself?

Much more so than now To reach the realm of th strongest people.

[Actually]

[You dont have to answer that question.]

[ ? ]

For a moment, Hijiri glances at Kirihara.

(Could it be)

It was better not to reveal the cause of the burden in my body to Kirihara.

She probably stopped me thinking about that.

[Anyway.]

Putting her hands on the back of her head, Itsuki asked.

[President crushed that Confidant, right? How much did you level up?]

[My level is currently]

Come to think of it, how high is my level now?

Just about everything has been bustling since I defeated the Confidant that I had neglected checking it.

[Status Open.]

Basically, only the person herself or the Goddess can check every persons status display.

So, in this case, I would have to orally tell them.

Looking at the level displayed, I spoke.

[Lets see Whats written in here is that Im already Lv 499]

Swooooshhhh-

[]

Klaaaannngggg!

[Eh?]

My body- naturally moved.

However, it wasnt a mistake.

My body just reacted as if it could move.

My body wasnt normally able to move in this kind of situation.

And since I tried to force it to move even in this state

[-Ngh.]

Pain began coursing through my body.

[.Kirihara-kun, did you just]

The voice that was slightly condemning him is from Hijiri.

Looking at them

Kiriharas sword that had stopped right before my eyes.

No It would be better to say that it blocked.

For Hijiri stands right beside me.

With her unsheathed long sword in hand, in a stance held out to the side.

My heart began beating fast.

What just happened?

That is

Kirihara suddenly tried slashing me.

And Hijiri reacted to his attack and jumped out to protect me.

Hijiri prevented Kiriharas slash by blocking with her sword.

Sweat began to gush out from my entire body.

I could feel cold sweat dripping behind my back.

Hijiris questioning, cold, blade-like gaze was directed at Kirihara.

[And what do you think youre doing, Kirihara-kun?]

Theres a harshness mixed in Hijiris voice.

In other words.

She had already sensed it too.

Yes

(Kirihara-kuns slash just now)

-clearly had killing intent in it.

<Authors Notes>

Sometimes, when Im writing the Goddess side after writing Toukas side, I feel like Im writing a completely different novel

Also, I recently received word that the second volume of the manga has been reprinted. Thank you very much to everyone who has purchased it.
