L.E.M. C.71: Don’t Kill the Messenger

Nazgul-san’s Daily Routine

“Good afternoon, useless.”

“Ah well, it’s as you say.”

will start italicising from now on

We arrived at the company. A scolding for the unshaven middle-aged man without any sense of cleanliness who prepared a filthy reception for us. Aibus’ appearance as he casually lowered his head while showing an insincere smile is weakness itself. While having a relative amount of strength, if you cannot display it then there is no use for you. Since you advertised yourself to master as being of use, show it.

dont be a parasite

As a useful model, Nanaki is here.

watch and learn

Standing by master’s side, I am prepared to respond to all that I will be asked of. This body is godspeed, speed is the very essence of Nanaki. Thus I can deal with any situation as long as I have a few seconds. Do you understand? This is the heights of  a Master Maid. Currently, Nanaki has achieved even the very essence of a Master Maid. Look, this is the dignified look of Nanaki. Kiri.

….whats with the sudden boasting sssion

“Nana-san? You came.”

hi~

Do not relax my expression even at my friend’s voice. Kiri. But I am glad to meet you so a nanakismile within my heart. Hello hello, it’s Nanaki. How is my friend? Nanaki is quite Nanaki.

feeling nanaki

“Good afternoon, Akiha-san.”

“Yes, good afternoon. Zean-sama too.”

“Aah. It seems Vilmott came too.”

“He is constantly complaining about something or another, but he seems to be happy to have been given work by Zean-sama and is enthusiastic.”

“If he heard that, he would get mad.”

who cares

Right now the company is Alfred and Arkahn’s joint venture, what would the current total assets be? It seems money is required to rebel against the current world, master and the others have been running around gathering funds. Well, that is outside of Nanaki’s jurisdiction. No, that’s wrong. Nanaki just trusts master, it’s not that I’m running away from difficult things.

nanaki never runs

In the first place. Friend, you keep making fun of Nanaki like that, but what about yourself. Money is unnecessary to someone not human like you. I can’t believe that someone like you would be familiar with the workings of human society. Don’t you think a certain amount of knowledge is necessary if you are going to make fun of Nanaki? You don’t think so, I see. Eh, you don’t think so?

….c’mon

God is an unreasonable existence. When I directed a stare of protest at Ilveng=Nazgul puffing out his chest, he gave me a thumbs-up. Like Nanaki will lose. Watch closely all you gods, this is the pose of the prideful nanaki. How is it Friend? This is the fine art displayed by the Nanaki in command of the summits of heart, technique and physique. If you get it then put away that grin.

(T/N: 心技体=heart, technique and physique, seems to be a sumo thing)

“Na, Nana-san……?”

“Our maid does strange things from time to time……”

earth to nanaki

Curse you Nazgul……!!

back to work

I hate you when you wholeheartedly make fun of Nanaki. It’s unbelievable that that appearance of yours pointing and guffawing is an existence that was an object of worship. Why do you make fun of Nanaki almost everyday. Seriously, what a bad god.

just give up

“Nn!! If I’m not mistaken, we were talking about the people sniffing around the company.”

yes

Yes yes, let’s talk about work. End the previous conversation. And Friend, don’t you forget this.

you will regret it

“Did you see their appearance? Aibus.”

“Nope, I didn’t see them but felt their presence and mana. But sadly they’re fast and we can’t catch them.”

“It is similar for me. I only know that there is one person…..”

even Akiha can’t?

Based on what Aibus and Akiha-san said, it is most likely an imperial knight. And quite a high-ranked one, it might be a Five Emperor candidate-class. Ignoring Aibus, Akiha-san’s skill is comparable to the middle-ranked imperial knights. In certain situations she might be able to encroach into the upper ranks. To easily deal with her, that is the obvious answer.

but what about

If the Five Emperors came then there is no way Nanaki wouldn’t notice.

ah okay

Reconnaissance, or another objective? He has probably sensed Nanaki’s presence and is no longer in the neighborhood. But to observe Nanaki, or possible master, he should be near Freyline. Then that is enough, I will show you the difference between you imperial knights called geniuses, and Nanaki. There are levels even for talent, Nanaki is in the heavens.

head above the clouds 

The number of humans in Freyline with a relatively large amount of mana is limited. And since most of them are gathered here, searching is easy. An espacially large mana, this is Meia-sama. The one next to that is probably Fio-san. And so, the remaining response is.

target located

“Akiha-san, Aibus. For a short while, please take care of master.”

very short while

Politely, courteously bow. Because this is an important matter.

its maser

Target obtained, change course to right. Route confirmed, nothing on the right, nothing on the left, spirit also ready. Biribiri charge, complete. Final confirmation, take off approved. Rude person sniffing around the company, lightning for you. Nothing, nothing, Nanaki.

(T/N: BiriBiri=zapzap (kinda) for those who prefer it that way)

“Hi”

hiii

Bah.

bang

“!?”

here’s a nanaki

His sword flew out even while surprised. This response regardless of it being a sudden occurrence, well done. His appearance is that of the local knights, but his skill is undoubtedly that of an imperial knight. The slash he let loose is of a terrifyingly high level. This might be tough even for Akiha-san. He might really be a Five Emperor candidate.

but only a candidate

But I am Nanaki, slapslap for that bad approaching sword. Also slapslap for the rude person’s head along the way. Did Envy not tell you not to point your sword at Nanaki? Bad child. Listen first.

slash later

“…………..impossible.”

“A narrow view.”

nothing is impossible

Even though there are four people who have exceeded the realm of humans called the Five Emperors near you, what are you saying? Or is it that, did you have confidence only in the one slash just now? In that case, become stronger. So that you can be proud of yourself.

ganbatte

“Even if compared to a former Five Emperor like you, we will only be troubled……”

“It is because you keep escaping like that that you are weak.”

no excuses!

Because you know Nanaki is far away. The difficulty of reaching there becomes cause for you to give up. A foolish thing, truly foolish. Because it’s tough, because it’s severe, because it’s difficult. That’s why it can be respected, that’s why it can be recognised, that’s why it can be praised. It shines because it is severe.

fruits of labour

There is no value in something anyone can do. If you run, if you give up because it’s tough, because it’s severe, because it’s difficult. Then live your life as a bug. For those that cannot make the one step to have pride, Nanaki says this to those cowards. There is no value in your life. Even though I know nothing about you, Nanaki says this.

there is no worth in knowing

After all, Nanaki is strong. If you are weak, you cannot deny any form of irrationality, only the proclamations of the strong become the truths of this world. If that hurts, then fight, if that is sad, then fight. Painful, scary, tough, severe, difficult, that is natural. There is no way there would be value in the lives of those who don’t even have the resolve to live.

might as well die

“So, I would like to ask why you are sniffing around.”

“Do you think I would speak?”

yes

I don’t. But it wasn’t like I was asking seriously. Because Nanaki came to put an end to it. To the thing that is obstructing master.

bye

“……But, if I was found by you, Envy-sama entrusted me with something.”

“Envy?”

what is it?

That was dangerous, I was about to kill him. Please say that first.

sae

“This”

?

Receive the white envelope he took out and open it right there. Now then, it’s a letter from the sister of Nanaki’s heart. I’m curious about what she wrote about. When I opened the envelope, many words filled it. Unmistakable Envy’s handwriting. Very beautiful, as expected of Nanaki’s sister.

read it

But what’s important is not the beauty of the words, it’s the contents.

?

“——-negotiations with the Empire?”
