Volume 5, Chapter 13 I feel like I’m going through a lot of things with flying colors!
The tips of her fingers turned black and stretched, transforming into sharp blades.
Like the wings on her back, these were made of a mysterious material given to her by the InvaderAggressor.
Mokomoko was able to transform this material at will.
She made an incision in Risers back with her blade.
“Hmm? That’s quite a hassle.” (Yogiri)
He was not so sturdy that even a blade could not penetrate him, but every cut regenerated one after another .
However, Mokomoko created a fixture and proceeded to open and fix it.
“It looks like he’s weak from having your lungs sealed up. Without that, it might have been impossible.” (Mokorobo)
Mokomoko took out a round stone from Risers body. It was the Philosopher’s Stone.
“Here.“ (Mokorobo)
Mokomoko, holding the Philosopher’s Stone, went back to Yogiri.
“But you know what? You’ve got to knock down all the flags with the beautiful girls you meet in the tower. Normally, you would make friends with these girls and challenge the boss.” (Yogiri?)
That being said, it doesn’t matter if you’re a beautiful girl if you’re an enemy, and friends will only slow you down.
“This is the second stone, and we already know where the third Stone is, but is it enough to go home?”
He already had Sion’s and Liza’s stones, and Lily had Lain’s stone.
“Well. It might be a good idea to meet the InvaderAggressor robot. He seemed to know a lot about it.”
“We should have checked that first.”
But he hadn’t come here with any particular plan.
The only reason he had come this far is because he met some half demons.
“Now it’s time to take control of the city…, but with the way this guy is acting, I don’t know what to do.” (Yogiri)
Mokomoko looked at the fallen man. Riser was still alive, even though his limbs and lungs were dead and his back was cut open.
However, it would be difficult to communicate with her in this state.
“Well, it doesn’t matter if I say you beat Riser.” (Mokorobo)
There were those who watched the Yogiri and the others from afar.
There was no one in this city who didn’t know about Risers strength and terror, and no one would dare to oppose Yogiri, who had defeated him.
He thought optimistically.
“I wonder how people are treated in this town? They’re not the same as those who are forced to fight, are they?” (Yogiri)
“Yes. In order to maintain the functioning of the city, it is necessary to have civilians. The city itself is very popular because it’s very safe. Residency rights are being exchanged at a high price.“ (Mokomoko)
The city was built just to train opponents who could fight Riser, but it was also a place for him to live comfortably.
The city had a variety of facilities and infrastructure to accommodate the many challengers that came to the city.
Riser was a tyrant, but he didn’t mess with the city’s residents.
So, it was a very comfortable city for the citizens.
So, from the perspective of those in this city, he was a bad guy who threatens their peace.
That was a matter of perspective.
“Hmm. I’ll give you a piece of advice. It’s more human to be troubled by such things.” (Mokomoko)
You’re right.“ (Yogiri)
He knew that It was how it was.
However, the fact that he couldn’t understand without being told so was also a problem
But, now was not the time to be troubled by this.
The pursuit of humanity was an important issue for Yogiri, but it was not a situation where he could leisurely search for it.
“Do you think they’ll go away when I tell them to?” (Yogiri)
“Isn’t the chaos beginning to die down?” (Mokomoko)
Just as they were about to do something about it, the wall broke and well-dressed men and women appeared.
They came in a line and knelt in front of Vogiri and the others.
“We are the servants of Riser-sama.” (Servant lady)
One of the women spoke to Yogiri on behalf of the others.
She was ignoring Riser, who was lying there in a pitiful state, so it must mean she had given up on him.
“He told me that reward for the match was for the Philosopher’s Stone and the control of the city. After a discussion, we have decided that you have undoubtedly won.” (Servant Lady)
“I feel weird asking for your permission, but I’m allowed to take it, right?” (Yogiri)
“Yes. Riser-sama is not in a position to reply, so I will reply as the mayor who has been entrusted with the operation and management of the city. I am delegating everything related to this city to you.” (servant Lady -> Mayor)
“That’s right, Moko-robo-san. Call Euphemia and the others.” (Yogiri)
“Yes. I’m on it.” (Mokomoko)
The main body of Mokomoko is by Tomochika’s side.
The instructions to the half demons waiting outside the city were simple.
“Ha, ha, ha. Riser is pathetic when he’s in this state, isn’t he?” (man)
A man came from the crowd that had been watching from afar.
The confused people must have started to calm down.
He then walked up to Riser.
Oh“ (man)
Yogiri tried to stop him.
Riser was not dead. He tried to tell him that, but he was a bit too late.
The man was blown away.
Yogiri didn’t understand, but he probably released a shock wave.
The man hit the building, fell and became motionless.
Are you not going to stop that ……?” (Mayor)
“You’ve admitted that the match is over. They can do whatever they want.” (Yogiri)
I can’t stop them. The mayor seemed to want to say so, but Yogiri had no reason to stop them.
The purpose was accomplished, there is no need to do anything more.
In his eyes, Riser is an unparalleled brute.
But he didn’t think he should be the one to put an end to it. It will be someone else who will do it.
For the moment, Riser was left in that spot.
If no one got near him, no one would be harmed. If you knew what that, you would be fine.
After a while, a group of half demons arrived in droves.
Of course, they were disguised so that no one would know that they were half demons. He tought it’s the same way that Theodisia used to disguise herself with magic.
“I’ll give this city to these people. Do you want Euphemia-san to represent you?” (Yogiri)
“If it’s all right with you.” (Half demons)。
There were no objections from the half demons.
As a group of mixed tribes, their power relations may be complicated, but the most powerful was Euphemia, the Origin Blood.
There was no one else who would be suitable.
“So, for the time being, the search for the half demon’s base has been settled.” (Yogiri)
It was as if he was asking them to do the rest on their own, since he had arranged everything so far.
****************************
A few days have passed since the fall of the city of fighting gods.
There had been some confusion, but the change in authority had gone smoothly.
There was no one who wanted to go against the one who had defeated Riser, and those who didn’t like the rule of the mysterious group had left the city.
Some might attack if they knew that Riser was gone, but it would be some time before they knew that Riser was defeated.
In other words, the fighting city was relatively peaceful right now.
So, at midnight Tomochika and Yogiri had left in their carriage.
“This is the kind of carriage a nobleman would use, isn’t it? Doesn’t it stand out?” (Tomochika)
“It’s better to have a comfortable ride anyway.” (Yogiri)
“Let’s go east for now. I heard there’s something there.” (Yogiri)
According to Yogiris research, all the Sages who ruled this area were dead.
“What? Wait a minute! I feel like I’m going through a lot of things with flying colors!” (Tomochika)
“Really?” (Yogiri)
“What about Carol and Ninomiya-san?” (Tomochika)
Tomochika and Yomogiri were the only ones in the carriage. If you ignore Mokomoko, it was just the two of them.
“Why should we take them along” (Yogiri)
“You just scared the sh*t out of me! They’re your classmates!” (Tomochika)
“I don’t blame them for following us, but I don’t see why you should take them.” (Yogiri)
“Eh?” (Tomochika)
“Even if they didn’t have any bad intentions, I wouldn’t trust the Agency or the Institute.” (Yogiri)
From Tomochika’s point of view, it didn’t seem as if the girls were up to anything.
But for Yogiri, it was different.
He didn’t know what had happened in the past, but he didn’t trust the organization they belonged to.
“Where are Euphemia and the others? You should have said something before you left!” (Tomochika)
The girls may not follow her now that they have a base, but Tomochika thought it would still be a good idea to at least say goodbye.
“That’s a pain in the ass.” (Yogiri)
“Don’t let that stop you!” (Tomochika)
“I walked out the gate with dignity. You know the circumstances.” (Yogiri)
“You said that Lili asked a favor of you? Didn’t you say you wanted to do something for her?” (Tomochika)
Lily is the girl who came out of nowhere and asked Yogiri to marry her.
She had come to ask a favor of Yogiri.
“I got the Philosopher’s Stone. It’ll be fine.” (Yogiri)
Yogiri pulled out a transparent, round stone from his backpack.
It was the Philosopher’s Stone.
It looked like just a beautiful stone, but it was said to have enormous energy inside.
“So you’ve decided to do her a favor?” (Tomochika)
If request was to kill someone, and Yogiri would have had difficulty with that.
“Why do I have to act like such a killer?” (Yogiri)
“Then why did you take it?” (Tomochika)
“I took it as a sign that if I ever see her again, I’ll handle the situation accordingly.” (Yogiri)
“You haven’t promised me a single thing! You can’t say no to that, you know. She seemed to like Takato-kun…” (Tomochika)
“It’s just annoying to have someone you’re not interested in force their favor on you.” (Yogiri)
“Let’s put it in another way”
“Well, I wouldn’t say that to her face, either.” (Yogiri)
“Well, I don’t know.“ (Tomochika)
He thought that he did a very good job of conveying the subtle nuances of that.
“I really need the Philosopher’s Stone. But if she’s asking me to kill her sister, I can’t just say yes.” (Yogiri)
“Sister?” (Tomochika)
“Yeah, Lain’s sister. Yeah, she’s Lain’s sister, but they’re strangers.” (Yogiri)
Lily is a duplicate of Lain, but she has not inherited her memories. So, the request is only hearsay, and is someone else’s story.
“So all I can say is that I’ll think about it when I see her. That’s why I got the stone.”
Tomochika was convinced that he had shown his sincerity in his own way.
“Well, we’ve already left, so it’s too late to say anything. Can you discuss important things like this with me in advance?” (Tomochika)
“I will.“
After saying that, Tomochika realized that it was natural for her to act together with Yogiri.
“You’ve become quite bold, haven’t you?’ (Mokomoko)
Mokomoko whispered.
So what’s to the east?” (Tomochika)
Tomochika asked deceitfully.
“I heard there’s a Sage who’s an emperor. I think it’ll be easier to go see him since he’s in a clear location.” (Tomochika)
“After the god of war, the emperor is next ……” (Yogiri)
The Sage’s whereabouts are shrouded in mystery.
Riser had dared to disclose the location to accept challengers, but this was an exception.
And he guessed the emperor is also an exception to that rule.
Tomochika and the others were going to the empire to the east.
