Chapter 454 – What is ●●●?
〔Come on, try and catch me! 【Great Demon • Earth Misdirection Shuffle】!〕
〔H, hold on… it’s time?! Right, 【Mega Barrier】!!〕
Feints and disruption are used with every part of the body—hands, shoulders, elbows, feet, knees, head, line of sight, every part.
Earth’s feints—which throw even the most skilled opponents off balance—left even Jamdi’el stunned, forcing her to frantically put up an absolute defensive shield and scramble to compose herself for a moment.
From the perspective of those watching……
—He’s toying with Jamdi’el, one of the Six Supremacy! Earth Lagann is amazing!
It was a scene that simply got everyone fired up.
“Wow~ Big brother is so awesome! Everyone, look, look! That footwork of Big brother’s, we developed it by playing tag together ~!”
At Cacretale, Karui cheered excitedly as if it were her own achievement.
Jamdi’el VS Earth.
The residents of Cacretale knew only of the battle and its outcome, but they didn’t know the details of how it actually played out.
“Hmph, a move he didn’t show in the final match against me… and one powerful enough to take on the Master, no less….”
“To hide something like that, Earth is a bit of a sly one, isn’t he?”
“Elder brother, so fast!”
It wasn’t just Machio, Tsukshi, and Amae.
Both Jamdi’el and Earth held a special place in the hearts of all Cacretale’s residents. Given the chance to witness their battle, it was impossible to stay calm.
“…… Ngh…… Rebal …… Can you keep track of Earth’s movements?”
“…No way, Phianse. That’s completely… we’re seeing two completely different worlds. With enough preparation, I might be able to devise countermeasures and somehow deal with it, but if you’re asking me to keep up with him with pure skill alone, it’s impossible for me right now.”
“That just goes to show how much longer Earth has been running for—many times, even dozens of times longer than any of us… against an opponent like Jamdi’el, who stands shoulder to shoulder with Paripi of the Six Supremacy, someone we couldn’t even lay a hand on…”
“Indeed. Even I don’t think I could catch him…”
Phianse, Rebal, Fu, and Sadiz are all in awe of Earth’s actions.
And in a sense, this could be considered the dividing line between those who “understand” and those who “don’t yet understand”.
It separated those who could only think, “Earth is amazing,” from those who felt, “No, something’s off here.”
〔Once I settle down without falling to the provocation… I can also see thy aim. Then, the flow of the battle so far makes sense…… It’s been a long time since I was in an actual fight, and I was furious with this cheeky lad… I almost fell for thy tricks and mockery… now, what happens if I release it like this?〕
The battle had been proceeding at Earth’s pace… but that was only because he’d been taunting Jamdi’el with his fighting style, throwing her off balance, and then repeatedly making unexpected moves, thereby stripping Jamdi’el of her composure.
But what happens when Jamdi’el calms down and regains her composure?
“…… Jamdi’el has calmed down.”
“In that case… this is where the real, pure contest begins.”
“…… By the way, Hubby was also landing punches, but… they’re causing almost no damage.”
“Jamdi’el has deactivated her Heraldic Eye and that Breakthrough technique to conserve magic… but even so…”
Norja and Mikado looked up at the sky with solemn expressions.
They both knew this was where the real problem began.
“…… then, My Lord…… Onii-san is……”
“Hmm! Indeed, at this stage, he possesses remarkable movements and techniques. However… even so, he still falls short of Jamdi’el.”
That’s right, at this point, Earth’s true strength still hadn’t reached Jamdi’el’s level.
It seemed he’d been using tactics to try and force Jamdi’el to run out of magic, but that had been seen through as well.
How will Earth fight from here on out?
However, as if to defy those predictions and expectations, Jamdi’el, having regained her composure, employed her martial arts……
〔Thy footwork can only be used on well-supported ground. In fields with sand, mud, water, and so on, thy footwork is useless.〕
〔Shit…. my footing……〕
She calmly neutralized Earth’s signature move by changing the ground with magic.
〔Tch, 【Great Demon Flicker】!〕
〔Oh dear? A strong punch is struck by stepping hard on the ground… but with such poor footing… it’s too slow, isn’t it?〕
Furthermore, by altering the ground’s condition, Earth—who relies on driving his foot into the ground to unleash his punches—suffers a double or even triple setback, losing both power and speed.
〔Bugho!〕
〔【Arcane True Zenith Knee Kick】…〕
On top of that, Jamdi’el—whose pure martial arts skills at this point surpassed even Earth’s—unleashed an agonizingly powerful strike on Earth……
〔I will destroy thee a little.〕
〔Gu, agaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!??〕
〔With this, thou won’t hit that bothersome jab anymore.〕
The development unfolded in a way that defied the expectations of those watching.
“H, huh, S, Sir Earth!?”
“Ah, H, Honey!”
Just moments ago, Earth had been toying with Jamdi’el and running her ragged, but now the tables had turned, and he was being beaten to a pulp by Jamdi’el.
“Ugh, that Jamdi’el! Hurting Big brother!”
“Ugh, the kids shouldn’t be watching this.”
Jamdi’el shattered Earth’s elbow and dislocated his shoulder with a joint lock.
In an instant, the situation shifted, creating a gruesome scene that would make anyone unprepared for such a thing want to cover their eyes.
However, for those who “understood”, this was only to be expected.
“Of course. If you try to take on Jamdi’el with that level of skill, that’s what happens.”
“In fact, even with this, she’s holding back so as not to kill him……”
Yes, this is a Six Supremacy, and this is the true disparity in power.
If you fought them head-on, you wouldn’t stand a chance.
Furthermore, after reducing Earth to crawling on the ground, Jamdi’el said,
〔Well, I could break both legs here and convulse the whole body, but … it’s too much trouble, so let’s just strangle thee down, shall we?〕
Rare naked choke. It’s a sleeper choke hold.
“Hey, wait a minute—it’s completely locked in!”
“Huh? If it comes down to this, there’s absolutely no escaping…”
“Hmm? Hey, Hubby…… are you, like, gonna lose here?”
“Admittedly, he can’t go any further than this…”
To subdue Earth, she’ll choke him down. And once he’s in this position, escape is impossible.
That’s why those who “understand” and those who “don’t understand” react with thoughts like, “Could he actually lose like this?”, “What was the point of that strange fighting style at the beginning?”, and “Surely he’s run out of ideas?”.
〔Jamdi’el!〕
But just then,
Earth, who seemed on the verge of being choked out at any moment……
〔You… your…●●● are spilling out a bit!!〕
〔…… Hoa?〕
“””””” Bubooeeh!??””””””
“Huh?! No way, that’s soo not true! I was staring so hard, but Jamdi’el’s hair removal down there was, like, totally perfect! No stray hairs at all!”
Earth’s cry and Jamdi’el’s bewildered voice caused both those who “understood” and those who “didn’t yet” to erupt in laughter.
Except for Norja. Just moments before, she had a serious expression, but at this moment, her eyes changed again.
“Huh? Pray, Teacher Lal, what means it by ‘your p●● are spilling out’?
“…… eh…… Huh?”
“I don’t comprehend either~ Miss, what is this ●b● he speaks of~?”
“Uh, um, well, um… that…”
“Teacher, do tell! What is ●●s!”
And there they were, just innocent, pure-hearted elf children.
Even though they’d been too frightened to watch the scenes where Earth was being tortured and had looked away, for some reason, at this very moment, they became incredibly curious about the word “●●●” and bombarded Larou’iph with questions.
And Lal, who had no way of answering, froze and broke out in a sweat.
“…… Big brother?”
“Brother……”
“H, honey……”
“…… Sir Earth……”
And at that, even Espíe, Slayer, Shinobu, and Amicus all looked at Earth with glaring eyes, saying, “What are you doing~……”
“Stop iiiit! Don’t look at me like that! I was desperate at the time……”
“H, huh, Big brother, you were desperate, but what were you desperate about?! What were you desperately looking at!?”
“No, I mean, if I hadn’t done this, I wouldn’t have been able to escape Jamdi’el’s technique!”
Yes, Earth’s actions were merely a bluff to escape Jamdi’el’s technique.
And Jamdi’el, who fell for it……
〔Hiy!? Kyaa. Eh? Wh, wh, wh wha, whaaaaa, eh?〕
“””””Eehh!??”””””
And it was from this point onward that the world was truly shocked.
“Ehh?! W, what the heck was that? Like, seriously, was that Jamdi’el?”
“N, no way…… Hey, Big brother, was that Jamdi’el just now? Huh? Was I hearing things? Seeing things too?
“Wasn’t that voice… kawaii, the sort you wouldn’t expect from that Jamdi’el?”
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen ‘Jamdi’el’ as such……”
Even Norja, Espie, Koujiro, and Mikado suspected they must have misheard or imagined it.
Jamdi’el, a legendary figure shrouded in darkness and exuding an air of majesty, suddenly let out a voice like that of an innocent young girl, turned bright red, and frantically lifted her skirt to check her chastity belt.
Her silver chastity belt.
Moreover……
〔Your…●●● are spilling out a bit!!〕
〔Hiy!? Kyaa. Eh? Wh, wh, wh wha, whaaaaa, eh?〕
For some reason, at this very moment, this scene is replayed from a different angle…… the right
〔Your…●●● are spilling out a bit!!〕
〔Hiy!? Kyaa. Eh? Wh, wh, wh wha, whaaaaa, eh?〕
One more time…… this time, the left
〔Your…●●● are spilling out a bit!!〕
〔Hiy!? Kyaa. Eh? Wh, wh, wh wha, whaaaaa, eh?〕
Then, one more time…… from behind
〔Your…●●● are spilling out a bit!!〕
〔Hiy!? Kyaa. Eh? Wh, wh, wh wha, whaaaaa, eh?〕
And then, once again, in the close-up scene of “only the chastity belt” the moment Jamdi’el lifts her skirt……
〔Your…●●● are spilling out a bit!!〕
〔Hiy!? Kyaa. Eh? Wh, wh, wh wha, whaaaaa, eh?〕
One last time, with a close-up of Jamdi’el’s face.
“Paripiiiiii, why do you keep repeating that, you bastard!!”
Earth also couldn’t take it anymore and screamed.
It was a pointless edit where, for some reason, the exact same scene was played six times from various angles.
All over the world
—So…… cute ……
At that moment, it was as if the world had become one, and most people in the world thought the same.
“W, wait, the High Priestess…… that voice and expression, like when a pure-hearted maiden who accidentally flashed her panties….”
“I, i, it might be rude to call her ‘cute’, but… I didn’t know about that side of her…… even after being together for so many years…….”
“Hey, Big Sis, what is ‘pu●es’? What happened to the High Priestess?”
Even the three sisters, who had lived with Jamdi’el longer than anyone else at the Church in Cacretale, couldn’t help but smile.
“N, no, but… what is this feeling ……?”
“Yeah, Master put us through a lot of hardship, and we respected her, but… well, she’s beautiful, but she has a harsh personality…”
“Until now, the only one who’s ever fallen for the High Priestess as a woman was… Bro.”
“…… B, but, um, the High Priestess just now—……”
“Sh, she’s…… adorable.”
“And that clumsy side of her, blushing while checking her chastity belt…….”
“Oh man…… that gap is……”
The shock was so intense that even these burly men, who’d been rigorously trained as disciples of Jamdi’el, found themselves blushing and on the verge of some kind of awakening.
“Oh, that Earth…… wh, what …… h, how dare he say that to a maiden! …… Come to think of it, I’ve been… lately… I’ll check… later, in the bath.”
“Even if it’s to escape…… even as a bluff, I could never do that……”
“Earth, really…… he’ll do anything, won’t he… I, I guess that just shows how desperate he is.”
“Little man……”
“…This ‘ere’s also, in a sense, a kind o’ getaway ya couldn’t pull off unless ya knew ol’ Jamdi’el’s little quirks inside out, innit…”
“No, Hakuki…… why are you trying so hard to justify that…”
“B, but, Earth…… even though it was a lie, who else in history has ever said something like that to Jamdi’el? Just him, right? Even I couldn’t do it… I’d be too scared.”
Hakuki, a former comrade of Jamdi’el, and her arch-enemies, Mamu and Hiro, were left dumbfounded……
And then…… the person at the center of it all―――――
“””””……………………………”””””
At a certain construction site, silence persisted.
While a chastity belt isn’t the same as underwear, it is still something that is usually hidden, and seeing a beautiful woman wearing one—it wouldn’t have been strange for lecherous men to get really excited about it.
“H, hey, Bro……”
“Shh, be quiet, Boss…… no, I can’t… pfft… pfft pfft… i, if I laugh now, I’ll be killed.”
Normally, if Bro had caught a glimpse of the chastity belt on the woman he liked, he would have pumped his fist in the air and high-fived the construction workers with a smile.
“………………”
If only the person in question wasn’t here.
“Uh, um, M, Mother?”
Even Kron hesitated to speak to Jamdi’el, who was so terrifying as ominous miasma overflowed from her entire body.
“…Why… why did thou need to show this scene… six times no less… from all those vantages? Thou had blacked out the underwear scene with that lass Sadiz, leaving it unseen… so underwear is censored, yet the chastity belt is revealed to all…?”
Due to the events in the Heavenly Realm, Jamdi’el currently has both her Magic Eyes and magic powers sealed.
“Why? Well… there is but one answer… merely pointless harassment on that cur’s part…”
Yet even so, an aura of rage emanated from her that was so intense it froze everyone present.
“…… Paripi…… I shall have thou disembowelled as thou still draw breath… thy death is all but certain.”
And the next moment, after muttering those words under her breath……
“I SHALL SLAY HIM! I shall see him dead—that accursed, dung-souled currrrrr!!!
“M, Mother, please calm down! ●●● refers to pubic hair, right? Then it’s okay! We took a bath together the other day… and I saw, Earth was lying, and a chastity belt is different from underwear―――”
“DEATH! DEATH I SAAAAY! I SHALL HAVE HIS HEEEEAAAAAAD!”
Such was the fury—had Jamdi’el possessed her former power, this construction site would have been obliterated.
And as if to further provoke Jamdi’el, the Paripi’s narration began……
—Yes, the boy’s cry was part of the plan.
“Huh!? Paripi’s monologue……”
—Nothing is spilling out from the delicate lines of the Dark Valkyrie…… However, whether she appears so or not, in truth, she remains a pure maiden—
“PARIPIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!??”
Jamdi’el let out a roar that echoed to the ends of the world, so loud that even Kron’s voice couldn’t reach her.
And so, the world came to know.
That woman would leave her mark on history and, at present, is the world’s most wanted fugitive.
However……
— A pure maiden… s, so cute……
For people around the world —especially those who knew Jamdi’el only as a “criminal”— this was the moment their “impression” of her changed.
