Konjiki no Moji Tsukai
Chapter 179

The first thing Ionis saw as she opened her eyes was Hiiros blunt expression. Then Muir clapped on her shoulder, producing a pop.

Un, Io-chan is sooooo cute!(Muir)

A delightful smiling face was directed at her.

Take this.(Silva)

Thereupon, as one would expect from a butler, Silva gave Ionis a hand mirror.

Take a look, Io-chan!(Muir)

Even as Muir told her thus, she still was trembling in uneasiness as she hadnt confirmed the outcome yet. But when she looked at the people standing around, everyone gave her nods of affirmation and smiled.

Then Ionis cleared her throat and slowly lifted the mirror into the front of her face.

And there there was not a single stain on her baby-like skin reflected on the mirror.

In an instant, a large amount of tears flowed out of Ionis eyes. Muir tightly hugged her,

Un-un, Its good Its good, Io-chan.

Higu.. gusu. Ueeeeeeeeeeeeen!(Io)((crying sounds.))

Everyone but Hiiro was looking at the two of them with pleasure.

After she finished sobbing, she became silent, hanging her head in shame of the embarrassment of defenseless crying.

Thank you, Hiiro-kun.(Shu)

Suddenly he got a voice of gratitude from Shublarz.

I just did the request. If you want to thank someone, talk to the Chibi that requested me.

Looking at the disappointed Hiiros attitude, Shublarz shrugs her shoulders with a smile.

Of course I am grateful to that child, but still, let me say it. I thank you.

Normally her smile was voluptuous, always attracting the men around her, but this time, her smile was naturally and innocent. One could see with one glance that she truly was grateful.

H-he truly is our hero! I-i truly was deeply moved!(Herbreed)

For some reason Herbreeds stared at them with sparkling eyes as he remembered his excitement over Hiiros actions. There couldnt be done anything done against it in such a situation, but Hiiro felt that no matter how much time passed, hed never grew accustomed to it.

As his back became itchy, he started to move in order to get away from here

Kui.(SFX)

He felt that his clothes were being pulled. As he looked there was Ionis, standing with her head hanging down, slightly pulling his clothes with index finger and thumb.

. Whats the matter?(Hiiro)

But she didnt speak. After he waited for a while, Ionis faintly raised her face. One could clearly see that her cheeks were bright red.

..ank you.(Io)((she says gat as in arigat))

Huh?(Hiiro)

Ionis chewed on her lower lip, then she suddenly gulped. She slowly opened her mouth.

Tha. Thank you!

It seems she just wanted to thank him.

..why does it take her this amount of time just to say thank you?(Hiiro)

It was truly incomprehensible.((Yeah, as if.))It wasnt that bad to be told thank you, so he didnt plan to investigate it any further.

Apart from that, seeing her being that desperate to thank him somehow piqued his interest and his face loosened.

Dont worry about it.(Hiiro)

Bou(SFX)

Misunderstanding Hiiro smiling at her, Ionis said..becareful.and turned hot.((TL-Lib.: She saysand as the no is (still) just her way of speaking, it would be:doesnt have any meaning I know of. However,(difference betweenand) can mean something like Dont have an accident! ))

Oh dear(Shu)

Shublarz pleasantly smiled as she saw her getting completely embarrassed. And then Hiiro looked at Muir.

It seems like she suffered extremely harsh damage in her past.(Hiiro)

Uhmm.. well, thanks a lot!(Muir)((the uhm eto is cut into two parts originally))

Why are you thanking me?

B-because you cured Io-chan for me.

If thats the case you better respond with a delicious meal.

Y-yes!

Looking at her face one could clearly see that Muir was still happy about her friends restoration.

As for you, Old Man, Im afraid to say that you might have won this round but will lose the game in the end.(Hiiro)

W-well! Thats your fault!(Arno)((Lib. ?))

Arnold also still wanted to take complete victory, but he felt the weight of Herbreeds and Ionis loss as a result suddenly awakening inside of him.

But well(Hiiro)

He looks at Muir and Arnold, then focused onto Muir.

As Ive said before, the Chibi seems to have become stronger.(Hiiro)

Chokon(SFX)

He lightly poked her forehead wearing a smile and Muir got shy.((changed colon to full stop))

Ehehe.

And yet she was laughing while joyfully touching her forehead. Looking at her smiling face, Arnold made a sullen displeasured face.((Lolicon. And doting father.))

Such words coming from Hiiro(Arno)

What?(Hiiro)

Wont you also participate? When the heck are you going to start?

Muir was also interested in that topic and motionlessly stared at him.

Aah, about that matter.(Hiiro)

The two of them focused on Hiiros mouth.

Im next.

((Hell yeah.))

Muir-chan!(Mimir)

As her Muir came back to the camp, Mimir was rushing over with uneasiness, smiling in order to give a feeling of relieve.

Your arm is it alright?(Mimir)

U-un. But it hurts.(Muir)((u-un is stuttered un=nod. Dont mix it up with uun))

Please go and receive medical treatment immediately!(Mimir)

As she frantically gave off her own feelings of worry, Muirs heart became warm.((the author wrote Mimirs heart became warm, but as it is Mimir who is worried. and you can easily mix them up))

Arnold-san as well, please let your body rest by all means.(Mimir)

Thanks a lot, Mimir-sama.(Arno)

Then Rarashik approached together with Leowald.

Ive seen something interesting, did that youngster do something?(Rara)

As Arnold explained it to Rarashik, Leowald, who stood nearby, growled in admire.

Hmm, so he can also do such a thing. Hiiro is really a surprising fellow.(Leo)

Haha, that guy is certainly a force full of mystery.(Arno)

Hearing those words, now the first princess Kukklia also showed great interest and looked at Hiiro standing in the craters center.((Im following Kirikos index of names here. Personally, I like Kuclear better, but I can see why they didnt take it. Pronunciation ))

The next fight will be that child?(Kuk)

Eh? Oh, yes, thats true.(Arno)

Arnold directly looked at her.

Is he really that strong?(Kuk)

Haha, in fact I dont know about his current ability. But I guess the fact that the King accepted him met my expectations.(Arno)((Lib. ?))

Fuun.. I cant believe it.(Kuk)

Certainly Kukklia couldnt see his abilities by constantly looking at the delicate figure of Hiiro, but that couldnt be helped.

Kukklia, watch closely now. That man now, aHumas, is called theEvilas hero. That strength. I verified it with my own eyes.(Leo)

. Understood, father.(Kuk)

Leowald made a small nod

Now, the next ones are you, guys. We got two victories in a row, but dont lose focus until it ends. Apparently, it seems like the next opponent is going to be that hero.(Leo)

Ha!((Id guessis a military form of, like Sir, yes sir! I left it as ha!))

The answer came from three people kneeling in front of Leowald. Those three men werePassions pride, thethree beast warriors.((Im not sure anymore how they were called exactly, and Im too lazy to look it up. If youd kindly.?))

The combination of the three of you is perfect. You see, although I said it earlier already, you wont take your opponent lightly, will you? And even if I say this, Barid, and especially Crouch, dont worry to much.(Leo)((the last sentence Im not sure about it))

Two of them shortly nodded.

Alright, see you later! Come back after you grabbed theGabranths victory with your very own hands!(Leo)

Ha!
