Arifureta Chapter 332Arifureta After IIIBrutal Hero Shia ArcI’ll Rabbit You Up! Desuu!

A horse cart was running along the forest while vibrating and entle to one’s butt

It ht

Although, there were several knights andhorse around that horse cart, so it wasn’t really hidden

It was running along the forest was only for peace ofspeed that was too fast to be called stealthy, it could be clearly seen that the group ishing to reach their destination as fast as possible

The inside of the horse cart that was hurrying through the road like that was filled with really aard silence

(This feels absurdly aard desuu~)

It was oppressive……well, not really, but the silence that was containing delicate tension that was observing how the other party would act was silently giving dae to Shia’s rabbit heart

If she had to say, yes, it was like that

She was feeling like a transfer student in her first day

Who should she talk to? In the first place should she be the one who started the talk? Or rather, if you guys are going to glance like that then it’s fine if you call out to me you know? Look, there ht, there is right? It’s fine even if you call out to me cheerfully you know! C’lessly checking one’s own belonging to ignore the aardness, such feeling!

The cause was obvious

The battle VS celestial race just now

And then, the overwhel physical power

‘Get close and punch! That is exactly the ultimate skill!’ The battle that seemed like to claim like that with its si, it seeettable in their htly landed on the ground were si the descend of genuine goddess――or rather a fighting god

It was to the degree that everyone starting fro Eric si that Shia got flustered by that She hastily said 「Please don’t knee~l! You there, please don’t worship mee!」 and made everyone stood up It even doo to somewhere where we can calm down’

Also, the royal capital was in a different place fro was discovered

Shia reflected of such thing while peeking out fro her rabbit ears flapping while she was praying to the moon

(Hajiht at this !

「Shia-sama……you’re beautiful……」

It seemed that her prayer reached To the e appeared to be relatively short

It was different from the content of her prayer, but finally the silence was broken

Shia saze to the maid-san――Dahlia

For some reason she looked intoxicated It see sorrohile theher from the

「Err, thank you very much? But, Dahlia-san is also beautiful you know?」

「No, no way……that praise is tooand beautiful like the goddess of the moon, the likes of me is a mere pebble on the roadside!」

Dahlia-san clenched both of her s「Funsu-」 “Raising both hands and clenching fists” seemed to be the peculiarity of this person

「Pebble on the roadside you say……you don’t need to abase yourself like that Or perhaps, someone as beautiful as Dahlia-san is the standard of this world?」

Shia wasn’t giving flattery or anything, even fro transcendentally beautiful woirls, Dahlia was a beauty whose huh, thinking carefully his majesty Eric and Louise and others too, the male camp was also a co if it was this kind of world or perhaps country

Louis as sitting beside Shia sighed in relieve Hefor a talk starter He looked relieved and joined the talk

「Not at all, Shia-sama Dahlia is a beauty who is even praised as beauty princess in our country」

「Beauty princess? Is she a princess?」

Then, what’s with thein confusion even ed because after that battle both of the called a hero vividly reminded him of a certain someone, and it was a title that would produce black history to call oneself like that And so she asked them to be spared fro her Shia-sama

「She isn’t a direct descendant of the royal fahter, so she has the blood of royalty in her」

The one who answered in the place of Louis was hisa sullen expression for soonally ahead of Shia and he had been crossing his arms all this time

His atmosphere made her wondered whether he was in a bad uy It was transparent that he was immensely curious about Shia

Louis s, we never thought that a lovely woman like Shia-sa Even in the literature it was mentioned that all the heroes ere summoned in the past were male That’s why……」

「Aa~, in other words, a honey trap?」

The words of denial cahter maid Dahlia

「It’s not trap or the like I’m resolved to offer both my body and heart to the hero」

「I won’t deny that there is the calculation of increasing the hero’s favorable impression toward our country」

The words that Louis said with a wry smile were certainly really blunt

However, from their story, it see and Phil, these five had the so called childhood friend relationship It seeh it was by the person’s oill, to offer such woman to a hero whose personality wasn’t even certain seemed to be a terribly bitter choice for thereater aptitude than Dahlia to keep the hero company

「Ahaha……it feels like that is too blunt but, I’ll interpret it as the sincerity of Louis-san and everyone But, ear e for someone who is praised by the people as beauty princess to dress like that though……」

「? Isn’t reatest dress for woht……?’ Shia thought with her eyes spontaneously turning reproachful

With a bewildered face Louis said,

「The hero-sama in the past introduced this outfit The hero said that this is the most prominent outfit in the other world……」

「I’m sorry for our world’s idiot herooo-」

‘A Japanese That hero was absolutely a Japanese! Furtherht Shia while she apologized reflexively The bastard hero acted as he pleased because this was another world and made his own preference as tradition That damn hero……

The inside of the coach turned uproarious at Shia’s sudden apology The people outside the coach seemed to hear the voice too Various words like「What happened!?」 or「Crap-, has his ered Shia-sama!? He will turn into mince meat!」 could be hear from them

「Ju, just what’s with you!」

Hiswhile co to Shia It was a proble about……or rather, explaining about the unique people that was shouldering unique karma even in earth――the Japanese was extrehed to divert the question

※Warning! This is the personal opinion of Shia who is another worlder!

「Ahaha……it’s nothing More idoht I believe ill arrive around dawn」

It was dangerous to ht However, they couldn’t stay for long in that place after the attack by the celestial race There was a need to return to their country and hardened their defense even if they had to act a bit recklessly

Shia frowned slightly and opened her ht come faster than we can arrive there」

The expression of his aze toward Shia, while Louis showed a sad expression that was mixed with perplexity

「Shia-sa you up? If it’s alright with you, please kindly let us know」

Crossing over worlds wasn’t so that could be done casually It was an act that twisted the principle of the world

For Louis as the kingdoenius with no one to contest it, it took him nearly ten years since he accidentally discovered the lost literature of hero su and reconstructed it In the literature, there wasn’t anyback the summoned person had ever been held

「Err, well, how should I say it, if it’s my family then they can normally cross over worlds」

Shia’s instinct told her that Louis and everyone were relatively good people Although, she didn’t really know them well, furthermore when the other party was at the scale of a country, Shia’s htly prattle about her falinted

「By that, do you mean it’s the person who elbowed and electrified Shia-saht……」

「In other words, that person is so to someone at your level?」

「Well, yes……」

Gulp, the sound of sing saliva resounded It ht be Eric, or Dahlia, or perhaps the other two

A tense at a ainst

Actually, even that ed rabbit!」 seeing his prided bullet (nored or plucked frouessed what Louis wanted to say and replied first

「But, I think it will be difficult to beg for help from him you know?」

「……That is, as expected it’s because of the same reason like Shia-sama?」

No, simply because he would feel it was troublesome He was a person as absurdly dry toward other people

Such words weren’t said by Shia-chan who read the mood She was different froe the question Then Louis pondered with a difficult expression

「Shit- This is why I opposed so-」

His majesty Eric cursed with a choked voice Dahlia paid attention to Shia’s expression while she immediately said「Youra considerable a at the front of the path of salvation of the world that was heading to ruin discharged his words as though to spit out that heavy pressure

「This is our,in the present should be the one to shoulder our ancestor’s sin- We shouldn’t rely on so-」

「Yourit reeing to it is my weakness- In the first place it’s nearly ith I understand that, that hy I also clung to it- I harbored hope-」

That hy, he harbored even stronger hope after witnessing that much power, but because of that……

「I know that this is just an unjustified resentment! Even so let me say this, Shia Hauria- You are――cruel-」

「……」

Certainly, it was a terribly unjustified resent away the sparks of disaster cohtest reason for her to be criticized Rather, it was Eric and others ere very cruel for asking her to risk her life for the sake of strangers

He understood Surely, , he was the one who understood it better than anyone

However, the face of his retainers that flashed at the back of hisback hoether with the herohope……

And above all else, the face of his kingdo’s words was destroyed

Hishis head down That appearance was like an old htless words toward the hero who they personally suh they had lost their words That expressed their feeling more eloquently than any words

They had failed in the hero su

They were unable to obtain hope Those realizations

「……Why is it ot summoned I wonder」

‘If it’s hero, there is soht with an expression that looked like she just got stuffed full with bitter things

At the same time, for some reason she recalled back

About her fa froreat canyon……

Everything of that, was for Shia’s sake

Family, would never abandon family

Because they were the rabbit the beastether with the strongest bond

That hy, until the very end, because she understood that they wouldn’t abandon her, Shia ran

Toward the sign of hope that was showed to her by her power The power to peek at the future

Believing that the future could be changed, she paid no mind to her appearance and acted with literal “desperation”

Right now, seeing the king as hanging down his head, she suddenly thought

If, at that time, Hajime and Yue deserted her, would she also hold unjustified resentment? And then, would she lament and cruine it However, it was a“what if”

Gloom……,her rabbit ears naturally drooped down

Perhaps that hy When she noticed, her words resounded within the oppressive atmosphere

「Come to think of it, as that about spirit art or spirit element?」

「What?」

「Hah?」

「Eh?」

Question marks in three different shapes floated in the air Everyone was taken aback by the question that wasn’t reading the at that any attention

「Like the flying -san, or divine spirit? sos were mysterious」

「No, I think the way you punch is far h?」

‘That wasn’t power output that can be displayed by sliirl, or the whole mankind even……’, that tsukkomi of the heart of his majesty Eric felt like it could be heart Louis and Dahlia also nodded deeply

‘Let’s nota box to the side while speaking with a wry serous then~”」

In this world the celestial race was theof a country Eric was interacting with a h the other party was his equal or even higher in status, it could be determined that in this world the celestial race was a superior race that was placed in really powerful position

However,

「Those celestial people, they were ordinarily weak」

「We, weak……certainly, Shia-sa expression

When Shia asked 「Those people, how strong they are aht for a bit before answering 「They must be around the er than theht they are weak At present I’er Of course, there must be those that even more above the elites but……」

「But?」

「For now, even if they become ten times faster I don’t think they will reach the speed of sound」

「Yes?」

「They also don’t have anything like constant deploy」

「Shia-sa ab――」

「They also don’t have od」

「……」

「They also don’t have the physical strength to split the earth with one attack」

「……」

「Also, it doesn’t look like they will crawl out infinitely like cockroach!」

「Shia-sa any Naturally After all that was exactly the “god’s apostle”

The co Shia’s re up

「Shia-sama, could you perhaps――」

「Please don’t nore my family who come to pick me up and run around for the sake of this world with just aze was directed toward his uely seen in those eyes made histogether with my family, of course I will also do my best In order for that to happen, I will at least help to persuade them」

Just like what Yue did for her in the past

「That’s why, please teachrare here that would make anyone unable to say troublesome, surely my family too will lend their help for everyone」

Actually, if Shia asked then Hajime surely, no absolutely wouldn’t refuse Far fro and said 「Say what you want」 with a gentle expression to her, no doubt about that

Even if it was about a world unrelated to the

There was no need to talk about merit or demerit That hat family was

However, she didn’t want that Not just Shia Yue too, Kaori too, Tio too, Shizuku too, everyone else too, they absolutely didn’t want to think “We are fa if I ask him”

They wouldn’t speak it out loud but, if Hajime heard it then surely he would say 「It’s fine even if you all actwas really sweet to his faree

To be Haji in various senses was necessary

Shia thought of her beloved person while for her words

「And then, if my family lend their help」

Eric and everyone stared back in fascination at Shia’s eyes that were sparkling with pride and confidence

‘Ehhem!’ The rabbit ears curced up while Shia declared

「There won’t be anything to fear any will get solved all at once!」

Eric, Louis, and also Dahlia, they all were captured by an intense feeling that couldn’t be expressed in words and couldn’t say anything

They thought that they had to say soh their throat was stuffed with soe, their blood boiled as though there was strength that lost its destination inside the to search for outlet

Thump thump, their heated blood flow could be heard inside their ears Their brain felt dizzy froh their head was boiled up They couldn’t take off their eyes froaze was sewed on her

Even so, perhaps the obstinacy as the king, or perhaps si one-upped continuously by a girl

His majesty Eric’s hand reached out toward Shia’s hand that she placed on her lap as though he was getting pulled while,

「Shia, you――」

「Please stop calling me without honorific」

「Ah, yes……」

Shia-chan! She absolutely wouldn’t yield what couldn’t be yielded!

The inside of the coach that alot completely enveloped by a bizarre heat instantly chilled down due to Shia’s s rejection

By the way, for his「Ah, yes……」 like this toward a woe……just calling you with your name is……」

Perhaps unable to watch his h he just got hit with an unexpected slap, Dahlia timidly speak considerately but,

「Rather, it’s because he is an opposite sex who is ale with h」

It seee with her other than Haji her name directly Of course, if it ith soree――for example, if it ith the classmates at the present time then it would be okay even if they called her na punch would co from Hajime so no one called her by her name without any honorific

Anyway, it appeared she wanted to be spared from a man who she only had just met to call her like that Add ‘-san’ or call her with her family name……such wordless deuard was solid

Cough-, Louis cleared his throat to change the at as still dumbfounded and opened his mouth toward Shia

「Ee~, then, Shia-sama While presumptuous, please allow me to explain the situation」

「Yes, Louis-san I will properly open ards」

Whoosh-!! The rabbit ears turned toward Louis Louis’s cheeks loosened

For soaze was really warm since when Shia declared that she would abandon them at the place where she was suhtforwardness

According to the explanation of such Louis

It seey called spirit element existed in the nature of this world

Spirit eley source for every kind of tool It became the cornerstone of enerate pheno spirit element――the spirit art was a pri a technique to cause pseudo natural phenomenon, spirit art was also a technique to reinforce the body and healing

(It’s not really different froic power doesn’t react at all, is it a different energy?)

She had no analysis ability like Hajiht like that with her instinct

Louis confir

「The develop area byspirit eleressed with accelerated speed」

However, spirit element was finite resource that was produced by nature Huree inside their body, but it was miniscule compared to nature

And then, spirit eleranted to only mankind

「There is an existence called spirit」

「Spirit……is it?」

「Yes The will that is born from natural object or natural phenouely recalled a certain belief of Japan that she heard froods are residing in everything That’s why, let’s treasure everything, soain?) (TN: A belief in Japan that there is le-sensei for more detail)

It was said that spirit had tens of thousands of varieties that was proportional to be considering existing in all creations The representatives of spirit could be found in the nearby phenomenon――like spirit of wind, fire, water, earth, or so eneral the shape of spirits was like a ball of light, what they were saying was alsothem as able to communicate their will clearly, and many of such spirits were able to take the form of small person Of course, there were also spirits in the shape of insect or animal

And then, those spirits,

「They y source」

「E~rr, in short, the meal of the those spirit-san is spirit element?」

「Ahaha……exactly And then, that’s exactly the cause of the eency for mankind」

Shia interpretation made Louis showed a warm expression that seemed to want to say ‘How really cute’, even so his expression immediately turned pained and he continued

「Funda meal of spirit element that is produced from the nature like from earth, plants, and so on And then, spirits are able to put the nature in order」

「But,the nature, is that it?」

「It’s just as you say」

Huround in order to make tools

They fell forests and cleared the land in order to widen the living space

Because of that a great amount of spirit element was consu up

Pollution filled the water

Wounds that couldn’t be healed were engraved into the land and rivers

Technology advance became better, safety level increased, and the population explosively ot consu speed further and nature was polluted

In the end of all that,

「When population increase, the sense of values of the people also becoreed is born As the result, what happen next is……」

Historically, it occurred within a certain cycle

「War is it?」

「Yes, Shia-sao」

This world, or rather this continent other than the oldest country Balted Kingdom which was a human country ruled by his majesty Eric, there was also the country of beastdodo? Demon race?」

Shia tilted her head Because words that also existed in Tortus suddenly causted expression was hisquiet and left the explanation to Louis while resuuys started to call theo They clais like spirit’s protection, the protection of natural environe the name of spirit element and spirit art into de themselves from such sense of values」

「There is no need to hesitate to use spirit and spirit art because in the end it’s resource that y that mankind built up, that’s the claim of the dey’s supremacy, that even the proble can be solved using technology Who cares about spirit or whatever, rather they are unnecessary! That’s what those guys are insisting」

「That’s really……」

Shia

Louis continued

「Because it’s that kind of country, their sense of values make theour country to becoreatly problematic The country that react the most sensitively is the country of the celestial people, the Honted Celestial Kingdom」

「The country of those celestial-san is a country that hold faith to all the spirit-san and divine spirit-san isn’t it?」
