Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - V2 Chapter 68

Chapter 68: “The Minazuki Family, huh?”

It wasn’t just Unkai who had noticed the anomaly and came to help.

“Sorry, but we need you to behave.”

“If you do anything weird, no, if you go against my sister, be ready for the punishment you’ll deserve!”

Mio Minazuki, created over a hundred ice cranes, surrounds Mammon, Ren, and Samael.

Miyako Minazuki was also there, holding a sword ready to protect her sister.

“I understand you’re high-ranking demons, but if you’ve been disrespectful to our benefactors, the Minazuki family is ready to fight, even if it means risking our lives.”

Amidst Mio’s ice cranes, Counselor Seiun floated above with over a hundred talismans, each brimming with highly destructive spiritual power.

Even though there was a big difference between the power of humans and demons, facing so many could still have hurt Mammon and the others quite a bit.

Then, as Unkai revved her bike and started chanting, the bike seemed to come alive, twisting its frame and transforming into a monster with wheels.

Forces and gazes were also gathering from the depths of the bamboo grove, the sky, and the main Minazuki house, though their owners remained unseen.

“…I may be a greedy demon, but I’m also a bit careless. It seems I was a bit hasty. It was a mistake to make a move within the Minazuki’s reach. Mammon, mammon.”

“What’s with that silly way of talking! Are you looking down on us because we’re humans!”

Miyako, reacting to Mammon’s speech pattern, spits out in anger, probably feeling mocked. It’s unlikely she would expect that “mammon, mammon” is something Mammon usually says.

“…Silly way of talking? …Mammon, mammon.”

Mammon drooped his shoulders, and Ren stepped forward to shield him.

“We don’t want to fight!”

Following Ren, Samael also raised both her hands.

“Like he said, we have no intention of fighting you.”

“But, it seems you attacked Natsuki-dono and the others?”

“We’ve already been defeated and surrendered. But, we understand if you’re cautious of us. If you wish, we’re willing to be restrained.”

Seeing the main forces of the Minazuki family appear had surprised Natsuki, but he quickly realized that just letting Samael and the others explain wouldn’t ease the Minazuki family’s wariness. He rushed to mediate.

“What they’re saying is true! We were attacked, but the matter has been resolved. Thank you for worrying about us! But, it’s okay! Please, let’s avoid fighting at all costs!”

Although Samael and the others wouldn’t resist, they weren’t opponents the Minazuki family could easily defeat.

Natsuki was happy that they had come to their aid in a crisis. Precisely because he was happy, he didn’t wish for any mishaps to happen.

“…If Natsuki-dono says so, we’ll also lower our weapons. Mio, Miyako, stand down.”

“Okay.”

“Yes!”

“And, Unkai, stop revving your bike already!”

“Regaining power comparable to my prime makes me feel exhilarated… I feel like I could keep running forever!”

As Unkai continued to rev the bike, emitting a “vroom vroom” sound that made the face on the bike frame appear to grimace, Natsuki found it very concerning but also a bit frightening, so he pretended not to notice and averted his gaze.

“So, what should we do now? I want to talk with Mammon and Kobayashi-kun.”

“Then, you should use the Minazuki house. The head of the house has already said to bring anyone if something comes up. Since Amaterasu-sama is here, please make sure not to be disrespectful.”

Accepting the Counselor Seiun’s suggestion, Natsuki looked around at everyone.

Koume and the others, including Samael, agreed.

And so, they decided to borrow a room in the Minazuki house for their discussion.

〜〜Afterword〜〜

Unkai: “…I couldn’t fight. There was a chance to show my strength against the demons.”

Natsuki: “Hey, Grandma, why are you five years younger?”

Unkai: “I was injured four years ago, which greatly reduced my spiritual power. Thanks to Amaterasu-sama, I’ve temporarily regained my spiritual power.”

Natsuki: “Ah! So that’s why you have so much more spiritual power than before!”

Unkai: “Amaterasu-sama seems friendly at first glance, but she doesn’t easily give her powers. It’s surprising that she granted even the minimal protection this time.”

Natsuki: “Heh.”

Unkai: “That’s how gods are. Most importantly, if Amaterasu-sama’s sweet honey, Kazuto Miyahara-sama, hadn’t been involved, we might not have received any protection.”

Natsuki: “She didn’t come herself?” 

Unkai: “Amaterasu-sama knows not to wield her power lightly.”

Natsuki: “I guess I have a bit more respect for her now.”

Amaterasu: “Appearing in front of Kazuto-kyun is not an option anymore, I’ve gained too much weight! I realized it after taking a bath. I—got fat!”

Sorry. The talk with Ren and the others will continue after an interlude in the next part!
