Konjiki no Moji Tsukai
Chapter 205

First order of things for Hiiros return is a hot bath. When he stubbornly conveyed this to Eveam, she prepared it immediately.

What had happened today was quite exhausting, Hiiro thought as he soaked his body in the hot pool of water.

(Still, that Beast King..was quite strong.)

He was truly non-standard after all. If he did not have his Word Magic, surely it would be impossible to win that duel. It wouldnt surprising if he was instantly killed by Lion Liger.

Although Hiiro naturally took victory in that situation, still he was convinced that the Beast King was a strong man indeed.

(Besides there were those people as well.)

He recalled the sudden appearance of Eveams elder brother, Demon King Avoros. Aside from him, he wasnt able to use Pry on any of this persons colleagues.

(Although Ive thought this could happen someday its possible that beyond this point, there are a lot more situations where my magic wont be effective.)

Similar to Lion Liger that the Beast King had summoned, anyone who has Anti-Magic Element will most likely appear in the future and may render Hiiros Word Magic.

(So I cant continue to exist without my magic.huh?)

Supposing Hiiro was driven into a situation where he couldnt use his magic again, can he confront people with same caliber as the Beast King?

(I should look for solutions about this)

Because Hiiro had decided to help achieve Liliyns dream, he understood that there would be a big obstacle awaiting them in the near future.

And it seems that they had experienced the combat aspect of it. Can he fight properlysupposing he encounter people capable of rendering his magic useless?

With aChapunsound, he sunk his whole body in the hot water.

(I dont want to die yet.but.I cant think of any measures to counter this situation.)

His face resurfaced from the hot water. Then, he slowly shut his eyes as a vein appeared on his forehead.

What do you want, Hentai?

In front of his vision, there was the Hentai butler Silva standing in an imposing stance, stark naked.

Although it was less noticeable with his clothes on, Silva was considerably buffed with muscles. It was unexpected for an old guy like him to have such well sculpted form.

Not that it matters to him though.

Oi, I believe I requested to be alone in this bath and take my time?

Nofofofofo! You dont mind as long as I dont disturb you, right? I myself want to relax my stiff shoulders a little.

Though he said it while rolling his rigid shoulders, there wasnt a trace of tiredness on his expression.

..haa, and so? What did you came here for?

Hm? What could you be talking about?

Dont play dumb. You wont purposely enter the bath unless you want something to talk about by just the two of us.

nofofo, quite sharp indeed, Hiiro-sama.

Whether it was because he realized his intentions, Silva was a little surprised. Originally, this man only comes here when there was something he had to talk about with Hiiro, all the more confirms it, by appearing to him with just the two of them in the bath alone. It was the same back then in their former travels.

Then, if you dont mind.

Although the bathtub was considerably wide, for some reason, he sat near Hiiro.

Hoho~this really hits the spot~

Though Silva was enjoying the warm feeling of the bath, Hiiro, on the other hand, wanted to finish this talk as soon as possible.

Quickly tell me.

first of all, well done Hiiro-sama.

Hiiro didnt answer and kept on being silent.

This time, you have confronted a Spirit, you seem to be thinking a lot about it, havent you?

..!?

Incidentally, Silva was also a Spirit. He said that he was a defective one, but Hiiro was sure that the Lion Liger he fought was of the same kind.

Lion Liger-dono wasreally strong.

.you know him?

Indeed I do. Though if I have to put it plainly into words, its possible to say that I dont know him too.

Stop with your roundabout way of speaking.

Nofofofofo! That was quite harsh! Nofofofo!

(Seriously, I still dont understand whats so interesting about this.)

To tell you the truth, that is not the true form of Lion Liger-dono.

.what did you say?

In other words, that unreasonable being name Lion Liger, had not demonstrated his true power yet. Hiiro couldnt hide the surprise on his expression.

Originally, a high rank Spirit should have a more human-like appearance.

Hiiro quietly listens to Silvas story.

Spirits in either cases: low rank, medium rank, and high rank, are divided based on the strength of their existences. And among them, Lion Liger is one of the high ranking spirits Spirits. The beast-like appearance of him, is the manifested form of Leowalds use of Lion Ligers power.

.

Im sure Hiiro-sama has also noticed it, but most Spirits are equipped with Anti-Magic Constitution.

It was as Hiiro had expected.

Though Lion Liger was in a beast-like appearance that time, supposing he was in his human form, his strength will likely be on a different level again.

Instinctively, Hiiro gulped.

I deeply apologize if I may have discouraged you.

Certainly, Silva had informed something to him indirectly after finishing his fight.

Supposing the human form of Lion Liger came out that time

Is he really that strong?

Indeed he is.It is best for Hiiro-sama..although I may be exaggerating a bit on my words, he is a natural enemy to you after all.

You mean the Anti-Magic Element right?

Yes. And he can also use magic. A power as strong as the magic used here in Evila.

Although Hiiro wanted to doubt such possibilities, but he, a Spirit had already warned him, so it might actually be true.

That said, the Anti-Magic Element is more troubling than their use of magic, they are frightening and have very high intelligence, and lets not forget the fact that they can easily read the heart of any person because they are an All-Knowing Race. Perhaps, before you were able to use Peerless, and Leowald-dono was able to completely summon Lion-Liger dono, its possible that.

I could have diedhuh?

Yes.

Hiiro soaked his body in the hot water more as he sighed heavily. Certainly, there were a lot dangerous events that had happened that time. Though he was somehow able to fortunately conjure his magic, but supposing he had unexpectedly received a blow before, surely the battle would have ended there.

In other words.he might have belittled his opponent, and ended up playing too much with him?

While brooding on the matter, Silva casted his eyes downward, and

Besides

Hm?

We even met with a group named Matar Deus today

Yeah.

there, I sensed a Spirit similar to myself a human type.

I see

Indeed, so this was why Silva solely came here to advise him about this. A human type Spirit in Matar Deus that will become an enemy.

For this reason, Silva might have felt something from it as an identical Spirit .

Hiiro-sama, please lessen your habit of playing with your opponent, alright?

Mu.

At that time, Hiiro was weakened because he could only use One Word Chain. And yet, he still struck the partner without even ascertaining his opponents true nature.

But fortunately, his opponent wasnt that hostile to Hiiro that it would attack him aggressively.

And then, it came to the point where Camus saved him from being killed. If it wasnt for him, a tragedy may have happened.

In other words, Silva was warning him about his reckless actions.

my bad.

..fufufu, times like this, you really are honest to yourself.

Dont laugh, or else Ill kick you.

Nofofofo! But I would like to also apologize for my self-assertive way of speaking. I was just truly worried about Hiiro-sama.

I understand.

So thats why. Certainly, he may have behaved rashly without thinking carefully of the consequence it may hold. He should have observed prudence even if he was disgusted by Avoros.

Hiiro-sama is an important person for Ojousama. I wont let you die a noble a death.

Splendid loyalty you have there. Im sure Red Loli would be proud to hear that from you.

Somehow, there was a trace sarcasm in his words. But Silva didnt mind it one bit.

Well, thats not the only reason. If you died back then, not to mention Ojousama, many people would be wrapped in sadness of your death. That includes me as well.

I would like you to value your life. You are incredibly strong, but it does not mention that you have to let yourself die nobly.

Then, for the first time, Silva made a sorrowful expression in front of him. Hiiro broke glances, and dropped his sight on to the hot water.

Besides, Im quite happy and satisfied with the current way of my life. A life where anyone I know is safe and sound. Please dont deprive this enjoyment from me.

His expression this time was like a boy making a joke unlike a while ago. Hiiro was completely confuted, and there was no room for rebuttal at all.

.ou, Ill bear it in mind.

Thats right.

Then,bashaa,Silva suddenly stood up.

Well then, since were done with it, Hiiro-sama, let me wash your back overflowing with manly spirit. You dont min- eh? Hiiro-sama?

Right away, Hiiro used Transfer character to arrive at the changing room.
