Tilea's Worries - Chapter 32

Chapter 32

Lending somebody your chest means that as a higher-ranked student, youll spar with a weaker student to give them practice. Im not sure if we have an equivalent in English martial arts jargon.

Haha, Im garbage. Absolutely garbage. Im just a former chuunibyou NEET after alll~

I was depressed from their mental attacks. They probably didnt mean it, but their verbal attacks all hit me in the vitals. Its like the old wounds from my past life are being gouged open again.

You know, Oneechan needs to restore her Life Points, so shes going to hole up in her shell a little, okay?

While I was grumbling to myself in depression,

Are you listening, Oneesama? Oneesama!

Ha-!? Timus voice brought me back to earth.

No good, no good. What am I going to achieve by living in the past!

My name is Tilea. Im different from that garbage Shioda who lived his life as a NEET. Im the poster girl for the restaurant Berum, and a fine chef.

Get a hold of yourself!

Sorry, Timu. I wasnt listening. So, what were you asking?

Yes. Oneesama, besides the Killer Nunchaku you have plenty of other splendid divine techniques, yes? As I recall, it was seven-hundred and seventy-seven of them

UU-!? Timu, you actually remembered.

I am also very curious about this, Tilea-sama. I am told that the fist technique you used to crush the Demonic Evil Three was splendid.

Ah, the Pepsi Roll huh? Timu was too persistent in asking about how I defeated the dokyun, so I ended up demonstrating and explaining it to her. Although it couldnt be helped in that situation, committing violence isnt something that youre supposed to praise, but I ended up explaining how the fight went in detail. Though Im saying this about myself, there really should be limits to getting carried away.

But Timus eyes were glittering, so

Huu, is she going to ask about techniques again? These two are chuunibyou as well, so Im sure my techniques tickled their fancy.

I totally get it. Theyre techniques that I created during the peak of my chuunibyou after all. Even if theyre two different worlds, the way that chuunibyou think is all the same.

Cant be helped. Now that theyre looking at me with those expectant eyes, I cant disappoint them. The whole point of todays break was to communicate after all.

I guess it cant be helped. Well then, just a little, okay?

Thank you very much!

Both pairs of eyes sparkled at the same time. Now that theyre looking forward to it that much, its become embarrassing for me instead. Im sure these two will writhe about in embarrassment as well, once their chuunibyou heals.

Eh~ Ahem. First of all, there is something that all chuunibyou will learn without exception; the Hamemameha, Baban Stresh and Itsue no Kiwami(Mastery of Five Layers).

Mumumu They sound deeply interesting. What kind of techniques are they?

Important techniques that are so important that you could even say were techniques that every chuunibyou learnt without exception.

Just hearing that makes them sound to be very mighty techniques.

I was a chuunibyou too, so theyre included in my Seven-Hundred and Seventy-Seven Techniques of the Evil God. You could even call them techniques indispensable to a chuunibyou. In particular, pretty much every boy in Japan has experience with the Hamemameha.

What kind of technique is the Hamemameha?

Hmm~ Its not magic. You could call it a ki bullet I suppose. You fire ki at the enemy.

If it is ki bullets, then many humans in the previous war used such a technique. Only, they werent so powerful a technique that they could overcome a demons magic barrier.

Hu hu, if you used Hamemameha at max power, you could even destroy the moon, you know.

G-, Goodness! I havent even heard of even a grand magic capable of destroying a celestial body. And for that to be accomplished by a ki bullet with far less might than magic is

Amazing, right? Did that surprise you?

Y-, Yes. I was shocked. A-, And Oneesama

Yes, I practiced it. So much that everybody was shocked(disgusted)

I looked back on my past with distant eyes. Right. It was when I was in primary school. I wanted to use ki waves no matter what, so I used all of my pocket money and new years money, and borrowed money from my parents to make up the rest. It was a 12-part qigong correspondence course.

Even though I splendidly completed it

It was completely useless.

Everyone around me was like, What kind of stupid crap are you doing! though. Yeah. I just really wanted to fire a ki wave!

Then what is Baban Stresh?

Thats a sword technique. Its a technique where you release something like sword ki from your blade.

In that case, I have seen humans use something similar as well. And also, Demon General Zanza is a magic swordsman, and he can cut everything down within a few dozen metres radius of himself. Is it something like that?

Not bad, Timu. More backstory on the Demon King Army, is it? But you know, you still have far to go. When Oneechan was in her past life, her chuunibyou wasnt half-baked, okay?

Hu hu, the amazing part about Baban Stresh is that it isnt just a normal slash. Not just solids, and liquids, but even gases; in other words, even the atmosphere can be rent to pieces with it.

G-, Goodness! If it is just cutting boulders or the sea, examples like that are as common as pebbles, but in all ages and nations, never has there been an example of rending the sky.

Amazing, right? After all, it cuts through solids, liquids, and gases all at once.

And of course, Oneesama, you

Yes, I practiced it. So much that everybody was shocked(disgusted)

Of course I never missed a chance with a broom during school clean-up, but I also did it with an umbrella when it rained. Back when I was really into it, Id do it for a few hours a day. I might have been the only one who did it so much that my elbow joints were inflamed. No, Japan is wide. I shouldnt be the only one.

Then what is the Itsue no Kiwami(Mastery of Five Layers)?

Thats a fist technique. You destroy the target with a barrage of punches.

In that case, its similar to Nielsens secret technique, Bomber Fire[Super Demonic Flame Burst Fist], isnt it.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Naive, Timu. The amazing thing about Itsue no Kiwami is that it can pulverise absolutely anything.

Such a thing is possible!? W-, What is the principle behind that?

Ummmm~ First you strike the target with your first. And then while the vibrations are passing through it, you immediately strike again. And you repeat that five times.

I see. That makes sense, Tilea-sama. In other words, a linked oscillation, correct? As expected of you, Tilea-sama. I would by all means like to try this out myself!

Heh! Nielsen. Did Oneesama not warn us only a moment ago? You are being too chuuneebyoh. Honestly, you get too passionate whenever it comes to battles.

I am ashamed. When Tilea-sama spoke of such an exceptionally splendid technique, my blood as a warrior ended up boiling.

Well, thats fine, isnt it Niel. I know how you feel. When a chuunibyou hears about something like that, they end up wanting to try it no matter what.

Huhu, did you say the same thing as Nielsen in your past life?

Ugu-, yes. Its natural that I wanted to try it after learning about it.

Truly

Saying that, Pervert(Nielsen) started to look like he really wanted to try it. Itd probably be better for him to just let it out. Stress isnt good. Chuunibyou isnt something that you can forcefully stop, after all. By all means, lets have him shout ITSUE NO KIWAMI! and start chaining punches. Sometimes acting like a child again is good forno, no. Pervert(Nielsen) is always a child.

Niel, if you want to try it, then go ahead.

Understood. Well then, please excuse me.

Pervert(Nielsen) stood up from his chair, and took some solid mass out from his pocket. Is this something like a karatekas tiles? How prepared. After putting that on the ground,

HAAH-!

with a shout, Pervert(Nielsen) drove his fist into it.

GUSHAH, rang the sound of something smashing.

Oi, what happened to shouting the name of the technique?

Even though the real thrill of it is shouting ITSUE NO KIWAMIIIIIII! while you do it

Well, I suppose everybody has their own way of enjoying things. He didnt shout the name of the technique, but he was probably too concentrated on the punch. As long as hes getting into it, I guess it doesnt matter.

W-, What a spectacular technique! Thanks to you, Tilea-sama, I have made great strides in my secret technique. Please look!

I looked at what Pervert(Nielsen) held out in his hand.

Mn!? Some kind of metal-ey thing has been crushed to pieces. Its the mass that Pervert(Nielsen) took out earlier, but

What on earth is this? Well, its something that Pervert(Nielsen) broke with his fists, so Im sure it isnt metal. Maybe wood painted metallic or something?

Not bad, Nielsen. Is this that?

Yes. It is orichalchum. My secret technique was born anew when I included the principle that Tilea-sama spoke of.

Umu. It splendidly smashed the orichalcum. The force of that strike would likely pass through even my magic barrier.

Your praise humbles me.

Oooooh~ It looks like theyre having fun. I used to play like that too. Id just grab some rotten wood from somewhere and punch it with Itsue no Kiwami, you see. All chuunibyou sufferers do the exact same thing, dont they. Well, theyre having a fun tea-time, so Im not so boorish as to spoil their fun.

Not bad, Niel. To master it with just one try. Thats enough to acknowledge you as a master of this technique. Come on, try hitting me.

I held out my palm in front of Pervert(Nielsen) like a boxing coach with a mitt. Its like family time where you spend time with each other, except its employee-employer time. Ill play along with you guys too.

H-, However, striking you with such a mighty technique, is

Nielsen, that is a needless worry. Do you think that Oneesama is inferior to orichalcum?

Right, come on. Im harder than orichalcum, you know?

That is certainly true. Well then, Tilea-sama, please lend me your chest. I will be striking with all my might, so please take care.

Whoa, hang on! You dont have to get so serious that youre going all out you knowwai-, hey, you have no intention of listening to me, huh.

Pervert(Nielsen) was looking at me in a trance. Seems hes already become the character Nielsen the Warrior.

Hahh, cant be helped.

Even if Pervert(Nielsen) goes all out, it wont amount to much anyway.

Filled with confidence, I held out my palm. And when I did, Pervert(Nielsen) clenched his fist and threw a strike with his entire body weight behind it.

TOAHHHHH! Bomber Fire![Super Demonic Flame Burst Fist!]

The sound of metal hitting metal resounded through our surroundings. Pervert(Nielsen)s hand had struck into my palm with all his power.

OHHH, THAT HURTS! THAT HURTS DAMMIT OWWWWWWW!

I mercilessly thrust my fist into the back of Pervert(Nielsen)s head. Blown away, he rolled against the ground.

That really hurt. I felt it in my bones. Thats why you need to read the mood, damnit!

To think that he got carried away and hit me for real.

Owowow. Not bad for Pervert(Nielsen). Did he awaken or something? Honestly, my hand better not be fractured.
