Chapter 148
The first thing I saw when I teleported was Lina and Ouka talking to each other .
“Lina, Ouka . ”
“Yato-sama . ”
“You’re here . ”
They stopped their conversation when they noticed my presence and approached .
“Is everyone okay?”
“Yes, everyone is okay . ”
“Obviously . I just went through my training, after all . ”
Ouka answered politely while Lina spoke in a voice full of confidence . Well, she did go through an intense training indeed . The way she dealt with the heroes in this room is enough to prove her capabilities .
“I can see that . ”
I uttered while looking at the deeper side of the room . The place was brimming with boys and girls falling unconscious . On the other side, the room itself wasn’t very ssy as I thought it’d be .
“You did well sending Ouka here too . She helped a lot with dealing with them”
“No, it was all thanks to you, Lina-sama . ”
They both praised each other as they smiled and acted friendly together . I wonder when they did get this close . Maybe they got closer through this battle . As I was nonchalantly thinking, Lina addressed with a slightly surprised face .
“I didn’t know that you had a Youkai familiar . ”
“Many things happened recently, so...”
“You didn’t do anything weird, did you?”
She looked at with doubting eyes . As if I would do anything sort of weird . The mont I heard Ouka giggling, I instantly replied to her saying that I didn’t do anything and changed the topic before it gets even worse .
“Anyway, how are Saya and Karen?”
“Ah, they’re fine . ”
“They are sleeping there . ”
They both answered as they shifted their gaze to the corner of the room . I followed their sight and noticed Saya and Karen leaning against the wall and soundly sleeping . They didn’t look injured in any way .
“... U... Umm . ”
A short mont later, Saya opened her eyes and yawned with a faint voice .
“Where am I?”
The first things she saw was the pile of heroes crumbling on the floor .
“Eh! C-Corpses?!”
For an obvious reason, she mistook them as dead bodies and revealed an astounded face .
“Eh? What is happening? Um, should I call an ambulance first?!”
While panicking, she searched for her phone while flustering . I guess that’s the normal reaction anyone would make if they find themselves in an unknown place with unconscious people . She was really confused . I kept watching her reaction without interfering until Lina interrupted her in a tender voice tone .
“Calm down, Saya . Those things are not dead . ”
“Huh? Lina-chan... and Yato? What is happening here?”
Realizing that both Lina and I were with her, Saya was able to take back her calm . Following her confused question, Karen woke up as well .
“.........”
She stiffened in her place after opening her eyes and didn’t speak a word . She was probably examining the situation to get a better understanding .
“I see...”
A short while after she moved her sight right and left by looking at and the fainted heroes, she agreed with the situation all by herself .
“Huh? Did you understand your situation in this short ti?”
“Not at all . ”
Then why did you say that?!
As I was let down by Karen’s anticlimactic answer, Saya asked about what happened .
“Um, can you tell what happened here?”
“Ah, actually——-”
Thus, Lina explained to her all what happened from the start . She told her about Tenjouin and his classmates wanting to defeat and how they resorted to kidnap her as a way to find my weakness and all the other details . Both Karen and Saya listened to her explanation with a cool mind .
“——– And that is what happened . ”
“I understand . ”
Saya reacted with a slightly confounded face . I’m impressed that she didn’t lose her coolness after hearing all of that . I was expecting her to react differently, to be honest .
“You’re pretty composed today . ”
I told her my remark in a casual voice tone, but she made a face as if she already realized it and replied .
“I wonder why... All that I felt from hearing Lina’s explanation was sothing like, ‘oh, so it happened again...’”
Apparently, she got used to this kind of things happening . Even Karen agreed with her while nodding repeatedly . Well, I guess anyone would get used to this kind of occurrence after they get kidnapped by a Fallen God and played with by a tentacles monster . If only she could get used to dealing with n as well . I had that last thought in mind before I saw Lina bowing down her head to Saya .
“I’m sorry, Saya! This all happened because of my neglection . ”
Saya got taken aback to see her bowing to her all of a sudden, and hastily asked her to raise her head .
“Don’t mind it . It was also my fault for leaving your side at that ti . So please, raise your head . Okay?”
Saya finished her word with a gentle voice making Lina look at her with an emotionally moved face while muttering Saya’s na .
“Saya-dono... You are...”
“Please don’t use ‘dono’ for my na, okay?”
(ED: dono is used when attached to a na, roughly ans “lord” or “master” . It does not equate noble status; rather it is a term akin to ‘milord’ and lies below ‘sama’ in level of respect . This title is not commonly used in daily conversation, but it is still used in so types of written business correspondence, as well as on certificates and awards . It is/was also used to indicate that the person referred to has the sa (high) rank as the referrer, yet commands respect from the speaker . )
Getting her next line tenderly refused by Saya before she even said it, Lina made a disappointed face . She was really planning to call her using dono honorific .
“By the way, Karen . Your guard was Ouka . ”
I pointed at Ouka who is supposed to be invisible to them and told Karen who then exclaid as if she solved a mystery .
“No wonder...”
“What?”
“I saw people around in the street fussing about floating items and strange occurrence . So it was Ouka’s doing . ”
Ouka was lifting items in the bare sight of ordinary people?
I turned to stare at her and got back an embarrassed response from her saying that she couldn’t hold back . I seriously need to get her used to the city by showing her around . This is important in order for her to stay serious in serious tis . I confird that decision with myself and shifted my gaze back at those fainted heroes . I almost forgot from talking with Karen and Saya that I still need to do sothing about these guys . I started dragging every single one of them on the floor to a single corner .
“Yato-kun, what are you doing?”
“I’m going to send them back to Tenjouin . It would be bad if they wake up here . ”
We need to solve their misunderstanding and the best way to do that is by sending them to Tenjouin who will explain everything to them . Replying to Saya, I continued dragging the heroes in the floor .
This is a little tiring .
In the middle of the process, I started to roughly throw them one by one at the corner of the room .
“Aren’t you too rough in your acts...”
“I’ve gone through a lot because of these guys . I wouldn’t go out of my way to act kinder than this . ”
Besides, it would be a waste of magic to send each on them to Tenjouin alone . Therefore, I’m pilling them up in the corner to send them all together and conserve my magic . I managed to gather them all quickly since they were close and went to touch as many of them as possible . In the end, sending them all at once was impossible, but I was able to send them by a few teleportations . It’s all done now . As a consideration from , I sent them exactly to the place where I left the others in the battlefield unconscious . I was left alone with Lina, Karen, Ouka, and Saya .
“Alright, let’s get out of here too . Let teleport you first . ”
“What are you going to do, Yato-kun?”
“I will go back to Tenjouin after this . I still have sothing to do with him . ”
I doubt that the class will attempt to kidnap soone else after what happened, but there’s still a risk of tron creating another trouble . I need to send them back before anything else happens . Although, I don’t think tron would break the rules and interfere any further in this world . When I told Saya about my plans, Lina agreed with .
“I will go with you . I will prove to them that tron-sama is innocent from this case . ”
Well, I guess I will take her with . She won’t fall behind if things turned out into a battle again . Approving Lina’s suggestion, I placed my hand on Karen and Saya’s shoulders to send them back ho .
“Be careful, Yato-kun . ”
Saya casted a few words of concern at while looking a bit uneasy . She still makes this kind of expressions even though she got used to this type of situations . Karen followed her words by easing her up .
“There nothing that calls for concern, Saya . He will co back ho soon like he always does . ”
“I guess, you’re right . ”
“Let’s ask him to do sothing for us as a punishnt when he cos back . ”
Saya returned a flustered reaction when she heard Karen’s suggestion while I exclaid in a confused voice .
What is this little sister of mine saying?
Saya revealed a little bit of restraint by telling her that she can’t do sothing like that . Sadly, Karen didn’t give up and pushed her to her side for the last ti by whispering sothing into her ears .
“Fuee!!”
The next mont, Saya’s face got dyed in red as she let out a strange voice . Karen asked for her response, but Saya still resisted by bashfully clouding her words .
Wait a minute here . Wait a minute...
“What did you tell her?”
“It’s a secret . ”
When I asked Karen what she told her, she refused to speak . I don’t know what she told her, but it’s surely nothing of good . As I kept staring at Karen, I noticed that Saya was glancing at with eyes full of hope and expectations . Maybe she’s waiting for my consent . Honestly, I’m lost on how to react . All I could do at that ti was speak incomprehensible words .
“UUh, uum, eem...”
In the first place, it’s also my fault that they ended up kidnapped by those idiots . After working up my mind and trying to find the best way out of all this, I ended up letting out a heavy sigh .
“... Do as you like . ”
The mont I said that, Saya’s face beca cheerful in the blink of an eye . Karen felicitated her for so reason then they both smiled at each other . I feel that she is plotting sothing . I was at fault when I thought that she only wanted to cheer up Saya . With a complex feeling floating in my mind, I bid farewell to the two of them and sent them back .
“You’re going through a lot, aren’t you?”
“I’m getting used to it . ”
I let out another sigh and replied to Lina’s sympathizing remark . Well, it was also my fault that they got kidnapped so let’s let them do as they like this ti . I tried to convince myself and this ti Ouka addressed with a sowhat bitter expression .
“I apologize, Yato-sama . I’m starting to get worried about my children, so may I leave?”
Co to think of it, she didn’t go back to the shrine this whole day since she was protecting Karen . I guess it’s normal for her to feel worried about the little foxes she left there .
“Yeah, thanks for the help, Ouka . let’s talk next ti . ”
“Yes . Well then . ”
With a short reply and slight smile, Ouka returned back to the shrine where her little foxes were waiting for her . Well then, I guess it’s ti for us to go too .
“Let’s go . ”
“Right . ”
Lina nodded and we teleported back to the battlefield .
—————————————————————–
The next thing I saw after teleported back to the battlefield was Tenjouin’s confused face standing in front of the mbers I sent .
“Hondou-kun...”
He gazed at his friends while hesitating on what to say . Lina and I approached him silently .
“Tenjouin . ”
“Kamiya, Hondou-kun and the others are...”
“They’re knocked out and not dead . ”
Hearing my reply, he arranged his mind, nodded weakly, and averted his eyes . He was still using his sword as a cane and standing while all worn out . The next mont, he revealed a resolute face .
“Kamiya, who are you exactly?”
He asked with a serious expression .
Um, even if you asked like that...
“I’m just an ordinary person with so skills . ”
“Don’t lie . There is no way that soone who I can’t even scratch with all my power like you could be an ordinary person . ”
“Well, my level is a bit high . That’s all . ”
“What’s your level?”
Tenjouin maintained the sa serious face and asked for my level . You shouldn’t ask for people’s level you know . But I can tell that he will keep persistently asking if I don’t answer him, that’s why I decided to tell him after staying quiet for a short mont .
“...... 431 . ”
“IT’S OVER FOUR HUNDREDS!!”
Seemingly, it was a little higher than what he expected since his reaction was so loud . This is the truth . I wonder if he can stand it . At first, he kept staring at with his jaw dropped, though he eventually accepted his reality and let out a dry laugh .
“Haha... No wonder we couldn’t defeat you...”
He kept laughing in a stiff voice . Well, I can’t bla him for doing that . I waited for him until he got back from his absent-minded condition and asked another question after he took back his composure .
“... Kamiya, are you really the person that tron told us about? I thought about it many tis and you didn’t see that way for . ”
“All that he said is correct . ”
He tried to ascertain his doubts and asked with a face showing faint signs of hope, but I crushed that hope by answering him unhesitatingly .
“I see . ”
He replied with only those words and dropped his sight to the ground while making a disappointed face, he didn’t even wait for to finish my answer .
“Well, there are a few hoaxes in tron’s explanation . ”
“Huh?”
Hearing the rest of my answer, Tenjouin lifted back his head and looked at . I continued without minding him .
“First, I erased people’s mories to avoid them finding out about magic and skills . If I didn’t do that, the world would in a panic right now . ”
Huh, is that why you erased their mories?”
“Yeah . For what else you think I’d do it?”
Tenjouin kept blinking with surprise from knowing the true reason I erased people’s mories . The next mont, he looked as if he guessed sothing and started asking continuously .
“T-Then what about the AI you stole?”
“That’s just how he sees it in his eyes . ”
“My current master is Yato-sama, Desu!”
“The monster you take for walks in the middle of the city?”
“This one?”
“Wan! ‘Hello’”
