BXBX NOVEL Chapter 95.3: Interlude Chaos
Chapter 95.3: Interlude Chaos
Of course, not all of the ministers had gathered. It was the ministers who were involved in the summoning, education, and training of the saints, as well as various other duties.
He is the main person who has been working in the shadows to eliminate the unintentional failure of the training of the family members in secret. In other words, he is the enemy that Ran has to be on the lookout for the most, and he is also the opponent that the saints have a history with.
He is the one who dared to kidnap a group of people across the world for his own selfish reasons and ruined the lives of twenty-one good high school students.
“The Queen has given us an order to formally incorporate the escaped saint, Kirishima Ran, into the team that will defeat the Demon King. This is a direct order from the Queen. Now there is nothing we can do about it.”
A force that should have been lost - the existence of the twenty-first saints.
Those who knew nothing about it shouted with joy at the new strength of Kirishima Ran, and found hope in the increase in strength.
However, this is because they do not know the original reason behind the summoning of the saints. To defeat the demon king and to lift the curse that is invading the king. This is the impression that those who have only heard of such superficial measures through rumors have.
All this time, technology and magic has been spent to achieve something that is not based on such a trivial reason as saving a dying king.
“Foolish people. There is no way that the situation can be improved by one more failure. No matter how many people we gather, it will still be impossible to kill the Demon King.”
“But there are so many of them. It is possible that they may be driven by the desire to return and claim that they have succeeded in exterminating them.”
“No problem. They can only handle their own magical skills-after all, they’re just naive kids. It shouldn’t be that difficult to seize the hearts of peace-blurred high school students.”
They had already lost all hope in the present king. There was not a shred of loyalty left in them.
What they want is more of the future. A conspiracy to ensure the prosperity and peace of the nation after the death of the King.
The original purpose of which even the Queen herself did not know. Some ministers of the queen’s side who were involved in the plan deceived even the queen, the mother of the nation, and used this summoning of the saints without difficulty.
“I don’t care as long as we don’t get wiped out. I would be happy if there were only one military weapon left who was loyal to the state and would fight to the end of his life. I think we can call our plan a success.”
“With one immortal bioweapon and one saint with an impregnable barrier, it’s unlikely we’ll be wiped out.”
Hirokatsu Yamashiro, the holder of the Instant Rebirth Birth Infinity, and Niigaki Takeo, the holder of the Mirror Force, an absolute defense wall.
Thinking of their faces, the ministers grinned and distorted their mouths.
“There are also girls like Ketsey, a feline beastman with enhanced recovery Schwartz Energy. If we don’t get her back alive and well, we’ll lose our plans for the future.”
(I think referring to Misuzu)
“Originally, I shouldn’t have been worried…”
The air was heavy with the murmurings of one person. The names of the people he thought of, all of them, formed a string of letters that was not quite the same.
“Underling Training:Sexual Lunatic…If it hadn’t been for the saint Kirishima Ran, the whole thing could have been carried out much faster.”
“A diabolical witchcraft that robs a woman of her self-respect and dignity. It had never occurred to me that such pressure could have been applied from outside.”
“If it hadn’t been for Kirisima Ran, relations between the Saints would be good now. As a reassuring friend with the same goal in mind to overthrow the Demon King and return to the world.”
“That unity, that cohesion, was the most essential ingredient in future machinations.”
In the first place, Kirishima Ran was not given the Underling Training: Sexual Lunatic, but to be given the Alchemy of Absolute Creation, the ability to create all kinds of things.
Because of the loss of his unique magic skills, he had to spend a lot of time and effort on transportation and armor.
“Who will be held responsible?”
“Let’s just put it on the summoner. We could accuse him of deliberately redrawing the magic circle.-He’s almost lost all credibility with the queen’s ministers.”
“It’s because they have the habit of raising commoners. Having been blessed with natural magical skills, he is in his current position. He has become arrogant and has misjudged his own worth.”
Backed by skill. These people who gathered here, valued more from where the family came from. There is no need for commoners to be given opportunities to rise.
For those on the Queen’s side of the family, the presence of a commoner-raised summoner or a lowly nobleman-raised Warkinss is anathema.
“What will we do if Kirishima Ran comes back alive?”
A silence of contemplation follows the sudden drop of the statement.
“If we assume that his unique magic skills will be used in the future as a biological weapon for the defense of the nation, we can think of it as a very useful ability.”
“Certainly, it may be a good idea to make full use of Underling Training:Sexual Lunatic and incapacitate female sword fighters and female magicians in enemy countries. But that’s no good”
One of the ministers, with his characteristic beard, meditated and shook his head from side to side.
“He’s already been taken in by the First Family, so to speak, he’s like a dog to Warkins. We don’t know what he’s been told or what kind of brainwashing he’s been subjected to. He is too dangerous to handle.”
“Even if he returns in one piece, it would be best to get rid of him.”
“It would be best if he failed in his ambition, like all the apostles we have summoned so far…”
This is not the first time that a warrior has been summoned from another world in the name of lifting the king’s spell.
However, the warriors they summoned in the past were not the key to the success of their plan.
Those who fled or died during their journey and never returned. Those who, for one reason or another, survived without overthrowing the Demon King, but were secretly killed because of their rebellious attitude towards their subsequent treatment.
A solitary existence with no friends. The title of “chosen hero” has become a cause of their arrogance.
In the past, the other world’s heroic candidates were summoned, but not one of them could be incorporated into their plans.
“But this time the heroes are ignorant and naive children. They are not the only “strongest” warriors in the world, but they are warriors who show their true worth when they are with their trusted friends. Let’s hope that they will not be overconfident in their own strength, but will deepen their bonds with their friends and improve themselves through adventure.”
There is nothing more powerful and glorious than a relationship of trust, born of a mutual commitment to life.
They must use their great unity for the prosperity of their country.
“I hope that the blonde girl with the big boobs will be obedient. I’m looking forward to it!”
“You mean the saint Mikoshiba Aya? It would certainly be a blow to lose the owner of infinite magic over energy.”
The young minister nodded his head seriously, although he could see the suspicious look on the minister’s face as he stretched his nose.
“A woman with the long tongue can be a lot of fun to take to the battlefield at night. I think the little woman with her is also very attractive.”
“I also like the female swordswoman who is overkill and critical of countless cuts. I’m not sure what to make of it. I’d like to tie her up with chains and take her from top to bottom……and give her a good hard time.”
The young minister put his hand on his chin, looking sideways at the old man who was fluttering his tongue.
In terms of simple strength, the blond-haired man- Niigaki Takeo. There is also Kenjiro Mitagawa, a timid boy with long fringes. They have the potential to become something special with training.
In the event of a war, they can use a swordsman to blend in with the miscellaneous soldiers, such as Tanaka Haruto, Shirayuki Saki, and Inugami Kanami, who was also named earlier, to greatly disrupt the enemy’s calculations.
“Heh heh, it’s settled. I’ll have Aya Mikoshiba and Reika Joougaoka. Blondes are the best!”
“I’ll take Inugami Kanami and Onigawara Hibiki. But then again, Japanese high school students have such lust-worthy bodies and clothes.
The ministers, who had been indulging in idle chatter, looked at the young minister, who looked distressed, and inquired with interest.
“And what about you?”
“What is it, sir?”
“Of course. I am talking about the most interesting of all the saints. I wonder if there are any saints who would like to be educated by your hands, if they come back alive.”
After a moment’s thought, the minister was asked a question, which he answered without hesitation, with a straight look in his eyes.
“It’s a difficult question to answer. Yes, it is. I’m interested in the likes of Niigaki Takeo, Otagawa Kenjiro and Tanaka Haruto. They look like they’re worth training.”
The air froze.
The two old ministers, their dishevelled faces exposed, looked at each other and blinked their eyes in surprise.
There was an uncomfortable silence, and the minister tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Had I misspoken?’
“O-oi…… Aren’t those three men men?”
“Is there a problem with them?”
“I think you’ve got a problem!”
“Haa?!
It took quite a while to clear up the misconceptions that had been held about the young minister.
◇◇◇
Another few days later. The date for the departure of the saints was fixed.
Ran’s presence was also accepted as if nothing had happened.
Ran also took part in the ceremony of the march of the saints.
The queen’s people looked at him with disapproval, but he didn’t let that deter him.
He stood proudly and quietly watching the sword dance performed by the knights of the Kingsguard in their ceremonial dress with his friends.
Perhaps it was because of all the heartache. The Queen, although looking quite exhausted, gave words of encouragement to each of the Saints.
“To the Saints - Godspeed.”
In the original world, it would have been a kind of talisman.
Ran was given a talisman with the blessings of the local warrior gods, and the ceremony ended without incident.
Thus - twenty-one modern Japanese student. The journey of the saints to defeat the Demon King has begun.
(TL, and so…according to the novel. The 1st arc has finished. Onto the 2nd Arc, Ran and Co start their adventure)
