Volume 2 Chapter 2
Abandoned Village of Rene I [Child Bearing the World Itself]
TL: Welp. I probably need to change my update day to reflect some changes in life.
Two people pass by. It cannot be said that either of them are ordinary people, as one, for example, has two twisting black horns. Next to him, the other has triangular fox ears as well as a number of soft tails growing out of her.
At that time, the woman standing behind Yatano who was sitting on the bench next to the Silverwhite Highway spoke up.
“Yatano-chan, is this okay?” (Matilda)
“Yes. The heads of the shrine will complain a lot, but I don’t care what they think. I do not plan to scare them.” (Yatano)
Crimson fabric held by black bones. Yatano opened her beautifully crafted umbrella and laughed at Matilda. There is no malice in it, only well-intentioned amusement.
“Rene’s abandoned village is certainly the best place to rest overnight. Though, I wonder why only the demons suffer such persecution.” (Matilda)
“It is because there was a large event where demons were involved before there was the Imperial Academy, though I do not know if it is enough of a reason for the current Empire to be disgusted with demons.” (Yatano)
“What do you mean?” (Matilda)
As she stood up onto her sandals gracefully, the small bells decorating her hair rang out a bright tone. Setting the umbrella on her shoulder and straightening the hem of her kimono, she was then ready to leave.
“Humans shun those that are stronger than themselves. The subjects of the Empire…No, the Imperial Academy thought they couldn’t do anything against the demons…So, the fear and persecution against the demons has built up until now. However, with the Empire’s magic of the Imperial Academy as it is, there is no longer any reason to fear the magic of the demons and persecute them. That’s what I think” (Yatano)
With a swishing noise, her short blonde hair was blown about by the comfortable afternoon breeze.
Underneath the distant blue sky, while watching the flow of the clouds, she narrowed her eyes and muttered quietly.
“These flowing clouds that cover the world, will eventually fall to the ground as rain. That which is mighty will not keep its authority forever. Those who remain unaware of this fact and just look down with frightened faces will live forever in the illusion of fear (それに気づかずただ下を向いて怯えている人たちは、きっと永遠に幻影を恐れて生きるのでしょう).” (Yatano)
Who on earth was the one reflected in her mind at that time?
With a sigh weighed down in grief, her thoughts seemed far away.
However, her expression once her gaze turned downwards was somewhat bright.
“But, I feel like some interesting things are going to happen. This wind invited by the Empire is bringing up something like a premonition.” (Yatano)
“Yatano-chan, I haven’t seen that expression on your face for a long time.” (Matilda)
After speaking, Matilda’s mouth began to wrinkle upwards.
“Eh?” (Yatano)
At these unexpected words, she tried to think back on her expression. The face that was shown for only a moment, was one that matched her girlish appearance.
“Excitement, like the feeling of getting a new toy, it is that kind of expression, and one that I haven’t seen for a long time.” (Matilda)
“Huh, is that so?” (Yatano)
“Yeah, that’s right.” (Matilda)
“If that’s the case, then certainly—” (Yatano)
Looking towards the road that leads to Rene’s village, paved with silver tiles, she smiled and took a step.
“—that young demon has given me a wonderful gift.” (Yatano)
“Ah!” (Shuten)
“What is it, that you would cry out like a squeezed bird?” (Hiragi)
“Was it such a painful voice?” (Shuten)
This was a bad idea.
As the sun gradually fell and the shadows lengthened, we were still walking along the silver road. The reddish glow of the silver tiles lit by sunset is beautiful.
With the thought that it is fantasy, until a moment ago I had good feeling mixed in with the uplifting experience of beautiful things.
Hiragi standing next to me seemed to be giving me disappointed eyes, but that’s fine.
“No, I just thought that I had heard the name of Yatano from somewhere before…but then I remembered.” (Shuten)
“What?…I knew her in the past, but surely that’s not it?” (Hiragi)
“But you do not know the Imperial Academy.”
Yes, but…what do mean, that she is an official in the Imperial Academy?”
“As a stakeholder, or something like that?”
Only the name of Yatano appeared in Grimoire Lancer II. However, same as the name “Dai (だいは),” and never appeared in this volume. This was probably the reason why I didn’t remember it at the time.
However, circumstances differ in Grimoire Lancer III.
Although there is too much to talk about it here, it’s not like she isn’t mentioned because she is weak or casts a thin shadow.
It is truly the opposite.
Because she is too strong, she cannot get involved in the story.
There are three major official cheat characters that are often talked about in the Grimoire Lancer series. One of them is Yatano. Yatano Fuso ArcLight.
If she had been such a girl with a different colored atmosphere then I probably would have remembered sooner, as I have played III once. However, I played III quite a while ago and forgot about her because she is a character that only briefly appears. If it were II then I had fun playing it over and over…well.
“What do you mean?” (Hiragi)
“The ranking of magic librarians in the Imperial Academy is from the first to the tenth seat.” (Shuten)
“…That’s right, that guy we fought the day before yesterday was the tenth wasn’t he?” (Hiragi)
“Oh…well…If we have to compare the power of Grendel to the other magic librarians, it will not change the fact that he is the weakest.” (Shuten)
“Hmmm.” (Hiragi)
Oh, she does not seem interested. But though she doesn’t seem to care her ears have moved. Well, there is one of her ears cocked my direction.
“However…Among the magic librarians, only the top 3 are exceptional.” (Shuten)
“One to three?” (Hiragi)
“Ah, the second seat is dead from fighting the Devil King two years ago…but the first and third seats remain.” (Shuten)
“…how exceptional are you talking about?” (Hiragi)
“They certainly have more experience than we have now.” (Shuten)
“More experience…?” (Hiragi)
“Sigh (瞬殺). It might be possible to somehow fight someone from the top with the pearl pieces hunted from a monster, but frankly, right now we will be killed.” (Shuten)
It will be the last stop. Game Over~.
I wonder why I talked so extensively about everything out loud.
Holly gradually lifted her face.
“I do not believe it.” (Hiragi)
“Imperial School Magic Librarian Third Seat Yatano Fuso ArcLight. When we face her, we will turn the world itself into enemies.” (Shuten)
“Hha…” (Hiragi)
“Grendel Glyph Scale of the tenth seat was an opponent who looked like he was having fun. It seemed like a joke.” (Shuten)
“I did not intend to fight…but getting stronger…that girl…” (Hiragi)
“That girl, hey.” (Shuten)
Although she was a cute thing, I guess looking at an qcquaintance from100 years ago she wasn’t that strong? Or was she a just a little girl? This seems likely from the words of Hiragi.
But when I remember III, I realize I was having a tea party with a terrible opponent. She was mockingly talking about it. But if I had been caught there, the match would be over. Forgive me.
By the way it is a memory of my previous life, a quotation from the manual of the game.
“Imperial School Magic librarian third seat Yatano Fuso ArcLight. When you oppose her, you will turn the whole world into an enemy.”
…It’s her world. (世界っておまえ) I also thought.
Indeed, it was also her turn (実際、彼女の出番ってほんの少しだったしなぁ). Well, in that short amount of time she could quietly erase 500,000 Crusaders from the Kingdom. Her Divine Phenomenon Phase skills are also strange.
As it is, Yatano is a terrifying opponent. Although I’m not going to quit calling her -chan.
“…I do not know much, but I am acquainted with her.” (Hiragi)
“There seems to be a lot more to you, so what is your purpose?” (Shuten)
“Huh?” (Hiragi)
“I entered the Imperial territory for a purpose in the Southwest from here. But since it’s in a different from the direction of the capitol, aren’t you here for an ancestor?”
(Shuten)
“…Oh, something like that.” (Hiragi)
Hiragi nodded in assent. Her expression contained gloomy things, so I pretended not to see what was going on.
There is no need to take the trouble to explain it. Once you’ve watched the story from the other side, you can ride the flow and maybe clearly finish something in the Empire.
“Oh, is that it? The village of Rene.” (Shuten)
“Oh, yeah. It looks like that.” (Hiragi)
She’s probably thinking of something else and so is a little absent-minded. (だからちょっと上の空なのもきっとなんか考えてるからだ。)
Well, I’m sure it will be fine to leave it alone until something concerning my life happens.
Meanwhile, we could see something like a small village beyond the route on the Silverwhite Highway we were following. Surrounded with white fences, it was dusk so it looked like there was white smoke coming from the chimneys of the houses.
Somehow, the village is in the air. (なんというか、ザ・村って空気のそれ) Are the houses made of brick? It almost looks like a wall made of baked mud because it is so dirty.
There are 12 in all. Even one person is enough to take care of this. (一二がなくて皆殺し。そんな奴はこれで十分だっての)
“So, when Yatano and Matilda were talking about this place earlier, this was a monster infested village.”
“You can kill them all for food.”
“Please stop asking about that or you might be killed by Yatano-chan.” (ヤタノちゃんに殺されかねないからやめてお願い)
This aspect of our relationship is the same since we first met.
I grab Hiragi by the scruff of her neck and pull her along.
“Let’s go –” (Shuten)
“Why like some kind of dog or cat!”
“But a fox.” (Shuten)
“A fox!? A fox!? What is this treatment!?” (Hiragi)
“How do we get in Rene’s abandoned village?” (Shuten)
“Right here. There is a road to the right, where we follow the mountain.” (Hiragi)
“Well then, we will go this way.” (Shuten)
It seems that the people of Rene’s Village will not be returning any time soon. Well, there’s no need to worry about come across people who will hate us. Also, here and there monsters are wandering around.
If you get off the silver road a little before the village of Rene, you can enter the mountain right next to the village. I thought it would be an animal trail, but it seems man-made. There are stones buried everywhere to prevent slipping and mudslides. If so, it seems there is no mistake in the assumption that there is something ahead.
Plants that come up to my knees tickled strangely, and sometimes monsters came out so I would swing the Demon Slayer.
“My tails are getting dirty.” (Hiragi)
“Aren’t you struggling because the path is narrow?” (Shuten)
“I am not struggling!?” (Hiragi)
“What’s the problem, nine-tails, just do something with magic.”
“Ugugu…I’m not good at turning into other people…” (Hiragi)
“You seem to be having a hard time. Probably because you have been relying on your Charm.” (Shuten)
“The charm…because the only men have been Shuten and that blonde magic librarian, I had forgotten.” (Hiragi)
“Be clear whether you are bold or delicate.” (Shuten)
“So annoying!?” (Hiragi)
While teasing the young woman, we traveled along the path.
No but, a natural enemy for me is also an excellent companion. Well and, the name of that companion is Hiragi, and is surprisingly nice.
Aside from that.
After walking roughly for awhile. In about 30 minutes of this experience there appeared a cluster of deserted houses.
“So it reveals abandoned houses…but is there a river nearby?” (Shuten)
“No, I am at a loss as to why you would ask.” (Hiragi)
“It seems either your eyes or nose are useless.” (Shuten)
“Your treating me like a beast knows no bounds!!” (Hiragi)
“So, what exactly do you sense?” (Shuten) (で、実際どうなんよ)
“…Well, there seems to be a murmur of water. But I mean, there was no sign of water in the village in the first place.” (Hiragi)
“Is that so?” (Shuten)
Besides putting Hiragi on the spot on behalf of the beasts, for the time being I sighed while leaning the Demon Slayer against an abandoned shop that was supposed to be treated like the main square.
Looking around, it seems a long time since the village was abandoned. There are places that have become monster nests, houses wrapped in ivy, and in some cases collapsed walls or broken chimneys about to fall to the ground.
“Yeah, it’s a good ruin.” (Shuten)
“What is a good ruin?” (Hiragi)
“I mean to say that it has a nice atmosphere, it is not bad to spend a night in this kind of place.” (Shuten)
Well then…I have worked up quite a sweat today.
“Should we try to take a bath?” (Shuten)
“I will have to fold.” (Hiragi) (角折るわよ TL: This one needs help. It basically translates to “folding the horn/angle/corner.” From research, I got an idiom about cattle horns, dogearing paper, or folding speakers – whatever that means)
“Uissu.” (Shuten)
It is useless even if I were to say it’s natural.
I had been watching for the right moment to point out her threadbare clothing, but I would likely be killed if I said such a thing.
“Let’s hunt some monsters and cook the meat first. Then bathe. After that we can eat.” (Hiragi)
“…Got it.” (Shuten)
Once I nodded at her words, Hiragi turned away. After watching her figure go down the opposite direction I went up and threw the Demon Slayer at the rabbit-like monsters that were nearby.
*Kupyi!* (くぴぃ) (the sound of the rabbit monsters)
After the monsters cried out I walked over and hung the dinner over the Demon Slayer.
“Oh, I should have started the fire first.” (Shuten)
I plucked branches from dry trees nearby and gathered them for burning.
Well, after I finish bathing and come back the food will be ready.
