190-189 Ida from "Tenchi" visits



 Ida of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army 'Heaven and Earth'.

 He's not an active person. He's a person who was the Four Heavenly Kings in the quite past.

 It's called the past quite a bit, but that's a tremendous past.
 To be specific, it was hundreds of years ago.

 Normally, such a person would not have survived in the present day.

 However, there are.

 The Four Heavenly Kings, Ida, who is undoubtedly one of the few people who can be considered one of the strongest of the past Four Heavenly Kings, is the Four Heavenly Kings.

''Hey.''
'Geez!'

 I screamed.
 I'll raise it.

 I'm sure you know what happened to Radie and her friends just the other day.
 I was almost killed myself.

 So I was already in immediate action.
 While screaming, I took out my Hermes sword and extended it into sword form and slashed at it.

''Gyaaaaaaah! Ughhhhhh!
Hey, hey, hey, calm down. You need to keep your cool.
'Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Kyah! Yikes!

 f*ck?
 How is this guy still alive after being ripped in half?

 The blades of the Hermes Blade have definitely reached him, penetrating from his brain to his groin, and cutting him in two.
 Don't just stick a section of it to the side where you cut it off and play it back!

 You're immortal?
 There's no such thing as a heinous regeneration spell.

Hmm? There's still a spatial distortion around me at this moment that should deflect a malicious attack, right? How can you break through as a matter of course and make me a catfish?

 d*mn it!
 I cut you down like you're supposed to, and you just stuck to it!

 I'll cut you to the side if it comes to this!
 Yikes!
 I thought I'd done it by slashing the upper and lower body, but they stuck together.

'So why doesn't the spatial distortion work? I've only seen glimpses of you before, or maybe you're more qualified to ascend to Valhalla than an active female hero?
Ohhhhh?

 If this happens, I'm going to keep cutting this thing until it's too tired to regenerate!
 I could change it into whip form and smash it to smithereens.

''You are a lively and strong man. "You are a lively and strong man, and you would be disrespectful to me if you challenged me to fight back. I will enjoy killing you both.

 Oh, you're doing it! Oh, you're gonna do it?
 Well, come to me, and I will protect you and your children, my dear.

 I'm about to enter full-blown combat mode...!

Stop it!

 Whoa!
 You scared me.

 What was that voice?
 Yes, it was a sharp, loud voice, but there was something strange about it that wasn't just that...?

 Thanks to that, I stiffened and stopped moving.
 Uncertainty.
 However, it seems the other party is the same, and Ida from 'Heaven and Earth' is cowering like a scolded child.

''........Ida-dono, I just promised you to refrain from acting rashly.
No, wait. This one? He made a move on me and I had no choice...?

 A woman.
 One woman was standing alone.

 It's the age of mid-twenties, with a slender, toned body that you can tell at a glance that it's worked out.
 And her skin color was unnaturally white, just like Ida's.

''........What is it that you, too, are going to cut at me at the first sight? To suddenly act without a word, it's like a beast. It's exactly like that man himself.''
No, I have a history with that guy. So I was wondering if it's okay if I cut him down to a timeless...?
''I won't talk back!
Yes?

 What is it?
 When this sister scolded me, I felt like I was shrinking back, and I couldn't even get the words to refute her.

 It's as if I myself was born with this voice that I can't resist...?

''Totally men are...?

 The woman lets out a sigh of disgust, and then changes her mind and becomes a sharp expression.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. We are not here to antagonize you.

 And I'm supposed to believe that easily?

"Believe it or not, that's up to you. But we have come here because that High Priestess is the one you say you want. We will not go against his wishes.
Ugh!

 Indeed.
 Even now that my true origins have been discovered and I've come to live and work as a human race, I still have a lot of loyalty to the Demon King!

 These guys who give out such a Demon Lord's name are really...?

"We will tell you who we are. Both Ida-sama here and Ida-sama here are the apostles of Valhalla who descended to earth to fulfill the name of the Demon King.......

 The white-skinned woman said in a hushed voice.

'And my name is Estelica.

You're not going to be able to do that.

 Anyway, I have no choice but to take these two up to the house.
 Then I let them through to the living room, which doubles as a parlor.

 Droyer and Zebiantes, who were guests on another matter, were also there, so I was already in a panic when I encountered them.

''Ida-sama! Why are you here!
"We've met the unbelievable person in an impossible place!

 I know how you feel.

 

 It's a good thing that the Ida of Heaven and Earth is visiting your home.

The reason I visited you is to apologize first. I'm sorry.

 Sitting on the living room couch, a great man in history bows his head.
 Why?

After that, I was scolded by the Demon King. You forgot to do your job and raided the territory of the human race and ended up in a fierce battle with a modern-day hero. Moreover, he almost killed them all.

 At that time.
 The cornered Ida of "Heaven and Earth" had launched a serious attack.
 At that moment, just as many of his comrades in arms were about to be buried alive, an unbelievable phenomenon occurred and Ida disappeared before my eyes.

 The unbelievable phenomenon was that an enormous hand fell from the heavens and grabbed Ida by the throat and returned to the sky.
 It was a very careless phenomenon.

''Then that hand is after all...?
I think it's best not to say more than that.

 She was restrained by a woman named Estelica.

She said, "Ida-sama, you have caused trouble in this world and have been summoned to Valhalla in this way. However, we cannot return you to Valhalla because you still have an important mission to accomplish in this world.
That red cape?
Ah, Mr. Left. It seems that in this part of the country, it's more commonly known as the inferno.

 A person who was involved and implicated in almost all of the recent events that have taken place in recent times.
 No, can I describe him as a person?

Ida-sama has caused you a great deal of trouble. She has expressed her concern, and she has given her permission to explain the situation to you. As reparations for all the trouble you've caused me.

 ... well.
 There's just too much going on these days.

 It's uncomfortable to be left out of the picture without knowing why it was caused.
 I'm being treated as a party to this, though.

What are you going to do about it? Would you like to hear the inside story of all the calamities that have occurred around you?
"...Okay. Please explain.

 Let's use that as punishment for Ida's rampage through human territory the other day.
 That's not really any sort of punishment for the trouble they've caused, though.

Okay. So, I'd like to reiterate that our goal is to defeat the inferno. Ida-sama, and now I, have been sent to this world to do just that.

 Inferno.....

"I met him once, in person. And I fought.
Then you'll see what an anomaly he is.

 Indeed.
 The simple combat power alone was definitely one of the strongest I've seen in the past.
 Even from my point of view, having seen Granberza-sama and Arantzill-san.

 That alone is bizarre, so I don't understand why he's still alive.

 I should have defeated him.
 I sliced down to the groin with the Hermes sword blade in the brain. He should have been cut in half left and right, somehow burst into flames, and his corpse should have been burned to nothing but ashes and vanished from the earth.

 Yet he is still alive.
 What do you mean?

He's already beyond death, so he can't die if he's killed. He has already died once. And he went to hell.
