142-第111話「CLEAR(double)」




'Boogie Gita, Lolotno Khan.

 The masked man calls out to the remaining Seven Sins and End Fang.

''The Sixth House here, you may be a threat to the future of our Lord and Lady of the Apocalypse. Bite into it, even if it costs you your life.

 The man called Bouagitha slips the butt end of the lance and holds it in place with Mr. Currier.
 Hibigami does not move.
 It looks as if he has cancelled his next move when he sees Bouaghta's movement.

'I will now make a killing. Penetrate, crush, unravel, body!'

 As if it were a released arrow, Boagitha rushed through.
 His face, which was expressionless, was tainted with rage as soon as he shifted into a combat stance.
 The tip of the shimmering lance attacked Currier-san.
 For a moment, I thought about starting the forbidden chant.
 But.

Make a move, man.

 I soon found that there was no need.
 It was not Currier-san who was pierced by Bouagitha's lance, but the void.
 What Boagita spewed up when she passed the target of the killing blow is fresh blood from the slashing sword.
 The long silver hair that softly dances in the wind.



 The Revelgate's blade slashed cruelly through him from below his chest to his shoulder-mouth as they passed each other.
 Boorgita slid forward to the ground with his grip on the hilt of his lance, stopping motion and life activity.

'Compared to the Four Deadly Disasters and the noise, it seems to have stopped.

 The masked man sighs.

'Lolotnokhan. 'Do that man over there.'
'Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Get up! I think she's better than you... Buh-buh!

 The little man called Lolotno Khan rushed into Lokia.

'Oh, oh, oh, oh! Jeez, it's getting warm. Three great zealots! Foolishly, you are a fool... oh, well, as it is, as it is, the "demon king" rogue! Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

 Lolotnokhan runs forward leaning forward, spitting and swinging his axe.

"Do I know this? You've heard of me, though? A bit taller than I thought. I will make my name known in the end of the world, the great demon king?

 As if to stand up to receive it, Rokia also sprinted.

''Ha, ha, ha! Holy shit! What's the reaction?

 Lolotnokhan leaps at Rokia like a frog, but two swords, one white and one black, violently and one-sidedly slice through the front of his body.

''Bu, Gohhhh! Ew! Eeeeeeeeee! It's a little bit cumbersome, but it's a little bit cumbersome....

 The interior of Lolotnokhan's axe emitted a red light like magma, and the amount of light rapidly increased.
 A moment later, an explosion occurred in front of Lokia with the axe at its center.
 However, none of his countrymen showed any signs of concern for Rokia's safety.
 The white smoke dissipates and grows thinner.
 The smoke clears to the point where Rokia's figure can be seen.
 The flesh that had been scraped off by the explosion had already begun to regenerate.

You don't even know my characteristics when you blew yourself up. You claim to be good at assassination, but you haven't done enough to gather enough information beforehand. That's what makes me laugh. It's always been information that enhances human abilities. If you don't do that, you can't make use of your powers-- f*ck you.

 Rokia's expression twisted slightly, and she cupped her regenerating shoulder in her hand.
 It's easy to forget, but that regeneration is also draining and painful.
 Perhaps the reason it was so easy to forget was because Rokia rarely showed any pretense of pain or suffering on a regular basis.

 The remaining masked man sighs for the second time.

"You are useless. Disappointment in the extreme. The Seven Deadly Sins are no more. It's no use. I have no choice but to let my sword do the work for me, but I've already accomplished my goal. After executing this woman, well, after we have executed this woman, well, we shall execute at least one or two of them right here on the spot for solidarity.

 The masked man gouges out Noise's wound with his sword, which is still stabbed, with a gulp.

''Hey--that's it! You are so.... bad at this.
I've given you enough pain to repent of your sins. All that's left is a cruel death.
'Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Ah ha ha ha!

 All of a sudden the noise started laughing like it was broken.

'Fear touched you in the flesh and you're just a little thing.
The spirit of the wind dances, dances, cuts through the wind, dances again, dances madly...
Poetry, huh? So it's his last poem to himself as he dies. What a miserable thing that is.
The wind is like a gentle breeze in the eyes of everyone!
It's a pitiful end. But this is the consequence of cheating on the name of the Doomsday Empress. It's too late to regret it now.
Yes, yes, but the wind has the color of carnage...

 That poem - no, it wasn't a poem.
 That was, as I recall, the one that Noyes had uttered in his last chanting shot with me--

 The masked man pulled out his blade and placed it against Noyes' neck.

'Now it's time for the execution.


'Wind Color, Woe'


What?

 At that time, a sound similar to an ultrasound sound resounded, and then a wind blade with a sound reminiscent of the sound of sharp blades rubbing together cut through Grouzia.

''Guaaaahhhhhh!

 The wind scythe tore his whole body to shreds and Gruzia screamed.
 Noyes snatched the sword from Grouzaia's hand and released a thrust.
 The red mask was split in half by the thrust, and Grouzaia was pierced in the forehead by the blade of her sword.
 Is that because of the depth of the blade?
 I'm not sure if it's because of the depth of my hand, or if it's because the noise looks a little hard to deal with.
 A noise that repeats a rough, short breath.
 It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
 However, the noise didn't move slightly while she was being slashed by the wind scythe.
 It didn't blink, not even a blink.

"This noise deez I have never regretted the consequences of my actions..... It's a big deal.

 Suddenly, I thought I bent forward and Noise vomited violently.
 Ughhhhhh, the noise spits out a lot of blood.
 In the spurted blood, there is something intermingled........two, vials.......?

There's a piece of paper in there with information on the hidden cunning for Hibigami and, since we've already talked about it, the location of that woman for Currier, which makes no sense now.

 Noyes, who has finished saying it, falls on his back.
 Hibigami picks up a vial from a puddle of blood.
 After checking the contents of the first bottle, he tosses the rest to Currier-san and hands it to her before Hibigami looks down at Noyes.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a little more competence than the other scum of the earth, but I never thought I'd be able to defeat them. As expected, I'm a great woman, "Formless Game".
So.... your praise doesn't make me happy... but I didn't know we had an assassin from the apocalypse. ...well, I'm a loser, so that's a good way for me to die.

 Currier and Rokia also approached and stood at the side of the noise.
 I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I've taken off my jacket, which was tattered by the explosion, and I'm naked.

You must be tired of being backed by those people.
Do you think so? It was an amazing feat of skill as far as distraction goes but like Hibigami said, I think it would have been a little more stage worthy if you'd just kept your distance, right? He was such a great asset.

 Rokia and Noyes talk like the Seven Sins End Fang were weak, but it doesn't seem to me that they were terribly weak.
 I felt their movements were refined, and I could tell that they had a lot of experience in combat.
 They were never weak opponents.
 I think the reason they appeared weak was because the standard of strength had gone awry.
 The Four Deadly Disasters, the Noise ... and then there's the Hibigami.

 Maybe the reality is that, like a stage script, it doesn't always bring together those of equal strength in stages.

The Noise.

 Mr. Currier spoke to Noyes in a complicated way.

'How did you come to be like that? Is it because of that woman ... or is it because of Tasogale?

 Noise looked up at the heavens.
 Then she spoke up with a very sad face.

''Yes, I suppose you could say that...........maybe Tasogale made me like this. You see, Currier I didn't really want to be like this, did I? But you see, it was so hard. I wanted to run away... so I could be stronger than anyone else... to rewrite my unreasonable, unhappy circumstances... to be lonely. ...alone... but...

 Suddenly, Noise's smile changed to a vicious one.

''--Well, wow, so! Gee-hook! Whoa! I'm afraid that's all a lie. I don't have a single thing in my life that would make you feel sorry for me, or a history that would make you feel sorry for me, or anything like that.

 A noise that exudes glee and peels the eyes and teeth.

'It's been a fun life. There were people like Hibigami and Lokia and Valaga and all that shit, but it wasn't like I was pessimistic about it. It was just a life of fun, enjoying the joy and happiness of the people dancing on stage... involving interesting actors, sometimes disposable, sometimes disposable... I kept on fulfilling my desires. I've been enjoying such a wonderful life, only! I'll do anything to get what I want! I did what I wanted to do, did what I wanted to do, and lived happily and tirelessly! And I've accepted all the consequences of my actions! If I'm reborn, I want to be "me" again! I love it when I behave the way I do - I love it!

 A noise that makes your mouth bleed.



 Righteous and rotten.

 That's the word Hibigami used to describe noise.
 Somehow, I think I understand the meaning of that word.

 Basically, Noyes does not defend himself.
 It doesn't justify itself, it accepts its own evil nature.
 It does what is evil as evil.
 It does not force the other person to justify what it does.
 No, she doesn't even think it's justified in the first place.
 She is also willing to even sacrifice herself in order to achieve her goals.
 She accepts the final result with grace, even if the consequences of her actions make her look bad.
 What she wants is always very, very twisted.
 Maybe Noyes Deece is what we should call 'downright evil', so to speak.
 Suddenly it occurred to me.

'Those whose existence is nothing but a nuisance to others are undeniably evil.

 Noise leans up and starts to back away.

You can't have any empathy for me, even if I'm covered in scars. Don't ever think of reaching out to them. Evil deserves to be condemned as evil in the end. Okay? Remember, I'm killing the students of this school to make this work, don't you? There have been other victims of the Golem. So... don't ever, ever forgive me. Do you understand? Evil is only evil. He who does evil is only evil. Past sins cannot be erased. A bad deed cannot be atoned for by a good deed. An evil deed is an evil deed.
Ha-ha-ha. It's just that you're a very cynical woman, isn't it?

 Rokia kicked up the rain-soaked ground and sent the mud flying into the noise.


What do you think?
'Kuk, I mean, what? Then the people in the sixth house are all evil without exception. Don't think you're the only one who's evil, you self-conscious woman.
You really don't have a good way to die.
'Hahaha! I'd rather die if I could, but I don't want to, you know?

 A noise that makes a pouty face.

'Honestly, this guy might have been the only one I wanted to give a crack at and then die.
"Noise.

 Mr. Currier stepped forward.

'Just out of curiosity, I have one question for you.
Oh my God, what's up, Currier? You're ready for anything, right? Honestly, it's not dramatically beautiful to have a dying person blabbering on, but... well, okay.
Why did you choose this school as your stage?

 It was something that even Hibigami and Rokia had been concerned about before they fought the noise.

'That's what was bothering you? Huh, that's an easy one.

 Noise smiles.

'There are those who teach and there are those who learn... but those learners are surprisingly hard for those who teach... don't you think they're somewhat similar?'

 Understanding flashed across Currier's face.

'Six houses, huh?'
Tasogale said. The older a person gets, the more he or she naturally pursues nostalgia," Tasogale said. The more one gets older, the more one naturally pursues nostalgia, because the more memorable the past is, the more one is drawn to it. But if that's the case, then nostalgia is synonymous with a spell.
Why did you choose Renowthread?
The reason for this is that there is a disturbing 'snake' in the imperial branch city, and there was a tasogale in Ruvelargan. Well, as it turns out, with Hibigami, Lokiia, and even the Forbidden Wizard, this is the worst place to be.
See? You're a piece of shit for a reason.

 Rokia spoke to Hibigami in a spiteful tone.

'Well, for understandable reasons, I suppose. Too simple, though, to have come up with the opposite.
I'm surprised she didn't have some sort of nostalgia thing going for her.

 He sneered at Hibigami, "You're bound to the past.

You're bound to the past. Nostalgia can be a magical fruit that sometimes drives people crazy. There is no escaping the past. There's no such thing as a person who's only in the present.
You're not going to be able to have a good heart when you're being pulled into the past. Only a wise man should have the sentimentality of the past. Fools like me don't need it.
So I don't need it either.

 When he finished, Hibigami placed the tip of the sword he had taken from the Seven Sins of Fang on Noise's chin.

I'm sure that the drug is still able to keep you alive. But as the effects of the potion wear off, the torment of hell should begin to seep through.
I suppose.
What do you think? If you want to die, you can kill me right here with a single blow. I was instrumental in bringing out the power of Sagara. If I want to die painlessly, I will end my life in a painless way.
It's very kind of you, but does that mean I'm running away from my death? I don't care if I lose. I just want to see you wallow in your misery and die. Okay? Normally, a 'villain' should be one who suffers thoroughly before he or she dies in a dramatic fashion. In my case, I don't have any regrets at all, so I should at least show you that I'm struggling, right?

 Noyes supports his body with one arm and looks at me.

'Forbiddingly-chan I don't like you, but I will say that you were honestly brilliant as far as your spirit and the way you fought.

 Next, Noyes looks at Currier.

You know," she says, "seeing you here among us, you're not the only one who's evil, but you're not the only one who can blend in with all of us evil. ........oh, therefore--

 The luminescence of Noise's hair fades.

'You are so, so beautiful.'

 The next moment, it was.

 Hibigami seemed to swing his sword, and in the time it took him to blink or not, a sharp, wind-slicing sound raced away.
 A beat later, a fountain of blood erupted from Noise's neck.

''If I had scratched my foot unseemly or insinuated that I was going to make it easier on myself with a single blow, I would have just let it go--''

 Hibigami takes a piece of cloth from his pocket and wipes the blade of his sword.

'I will honor your grace.

 Hibigami prodded his knees and propped up the corpse of Noyes, who was about to fall forward.

The men here probably won't shake their heads, but you did an excellent job of fighting your own battle, "Intangible Games. Well...

 Hibigami laid the body of Noyes on the ground.

"I guess I don't like being praised by myself, after all.

 The noise, it's gone.

 The sky is still bright.
 The clouds that cover the disproportionate midnight sun are still there.
 It seems that even if the surgeon loses his life, the effect of the inherent magic of the noise is still present.
 The noise, the reverberation.

 However, the brightness of the sky is getting a little shaded.
 The effect will wear off sooner or later.

 At that moment, an inappropriate light shines through the clouds.
 The faint light illuminates the face of the noise.


 The expression on her face looked as if she was trying to 'force an expression of death-fearful fear' and failing.


"d*mn it, if you're going to play it out, you've got to play it out, you twisted actor!

 Rokia swears like he's not amused.
 He spat on the ground and said


'After all, you were a woman who wasn't very useful until the end, you too.


 I couldn't see the look on Rokia's face from my position.
