L.E.M. C.28: Master so Charming

Each of Us has Something Important

“Nanaki……could it be Lightning Empress Nanaki……?”

Indeed it is Nanaki. Nice to meet you shitty bastard. Nanaki shall beat you up now so prepare yourself.

“How many times have I told you not to use that vulgar tone before people, Nanaki. What was that tone just now?”
nth
Nananki doesn’t really knonaki what you are talking about. It could be said that I do not understanaki.
(T/N: Nanaki be panicking XD)
Nanaki’s soul sister is in a bad mood. This is not good, Envy’s pretty face is marred by anger. Nanaki thinks that a smile really fits Envy better. And so it might be presumptuous but Nanaki shall serve as an example. Put a little effort into Nanaki’s smile.

Come to think of it Nanaki might have never shown Salia and Raicou Nanaki’s smile. Thinking back, Nanaki spent most of those days as Lightning Empress Nanaki. The only exception was probably Envy. In that case Nanaki will have you know the real Nanaki.

Look, Envy. Look, Raicou. Look, Salia. This Nanaki’s smile that trumps three emperors. Nanakismile of creation. Nanaki shall now open a new path. Everyone around the world, it’s Nanaki. And those of the Five Emperors, this is the real——

“Nanaki.”
“You can’t laugh it off.”
“Yess.”

Guilty Nanaki. Nanaki honestly apologized with a sorry.

“It really is the real Lightning Empress Nanaki. Is this fine, Envy nee-san? On top of being a traitor she killed her fellow countrymen. Isn’t it bad to get along like this? Why is Salia Sis and Raicou also staying quiet. Isn’t this person an enemy of the empire?”
“You are right, that is how it is. Five Emperors candidate Leon.”

Nanaki shall answer that question. Nanaki is undoubtedly an enemy of the empire. Five Emperors candidate Leon, you are not mistaken.

“Despite being a former Five Emperor you killed your fellow countrymen. What kind feelings did you have as you killed them, Lightning Empress Nanaki?”
“Five Emperors candidate Leon. Where do you want to go?”
“Huh?”
“Nanaki is at that place. Nanaki will not step aside. Nanaki will not let you pass. What will you do?”
“…………What are you trying to say?”

Will you give up on that path? Abandoning that pride and turn back without even fighting. If you are like that then there is definitely nothing to be gained for either of us even if we talked. Nanaki has sufficiently conveyed what she wants to ask you. That word is certainly comfortable. It is relieving.

If you have a just cause, any and everyone will be your ally. Isn’t it fine, use that privilege as much as you like. Nanaki has already affirmed and accepted this world. This will and body are together. That is why I am Nanaki. Fight as much as you like. Nanaki is here.

“Do not question this Nanaki about justice. Five Emperor candidate Leon.”

That is the logic of your world. Nanaki has said it many times, Nanaki is deviated. Nanaki feels no value in that. What is that, if Nanaki has it will my enemies be defeated? Can Nanaki advance down Nanaki’s path? Wrong. That is cowardice itself. Humans are fearful of that which is different, humans are fearful of change. Then they will never become strong.

“Then you don’t think anything of those that you killed?”
“————Any number of people. Dozens of people. Hundreds of people. Thousands of people. They should just die. If they become my enemy.”

What’s that face. Did you think Nanaki would spout kind words? Or did you think Nanaki would repent? Naive. This Nanaki will affirm this world rampant with prophecies and curses and live. Nanaki cannot be the same as others. If Nanaki does that Nanaki will stay in the same place as them.

“I have a reason to live. I have worth in living. That is enough reason to kill my enemies. Any number of them will die, I will kill any number of them.”
“……you’re crazy.”
“A coward that doesn’t value his own life should not push his opinions upon this Nanaki.”
“……you!?”

What can you protect with beautiful and comfortable words. Can you prove that anger to this Nanaki? That justice is the one that can overthrow even this Nanaki? It’s impossible, you do not have that strength. You are just saying things that cannot be attacked from a position that cannot be attacked. Nanaki is jealous, it seems easy.

Nanaki has always asserted Nanaki’s own worth. Nanaki always say it, Nanaki is a special existence. And Nanaki has constantly proved that. Nanaki has proved Nanaki is special, Nanaki has proved Nanaki is strong, Nanaki has proved Nanaki has strength. Yes, Nanaki is already done with proving. If you have complaints then prove it. With that justice of yours.

In the end who is crazy? Nanaki does not know. Because Nanaki is deviated.

“Now, apostle of justice. Are you Nanaki’s enemy?”

Nanaki will give you a chance. Prove it. If you succeed then be proud. That is because that is proof that you have accomplished something great.

“You———”
“Nanaki. You said you didn’t come to fight. Then can you go back already?”
“……that was right. I have been terribly rude. Envy.”
“You intend to let her escape like this!? Envy nee-san!!”
“We are having her escape. Leon. It’s embarassing but this is the gap between us and Nanaki.”
“Even Salia Sis……Raicou!”

After waiting for Raicou to silently shake his head, Nanaki bade Nanaki’s farewells.

“Now then Envy, Raicou, Salia. And Leon. One day, let us meet again on the day when all is to be decided.”

Now, let’s go home Friend. Because of various delays I couldn’t accomplish half my objectives, but there was some gains. I don’t know if it can be said to be meaningful but I saw a nostalgic face. To Nanaki that has made it quite a good rest day.

“Lightning Empress Nanaki……I will defeat you……”

Then before that ascertain your own worth. Be more valuable than this Nanaki. Let us meet again on that day. Nanaki’s enemy by the name of justice. If you have pride in that way of life, come before Nanaki to enforce it.

Nanaki will sink you with respect.

interlude?

or intermission

“I have returned, my master. My apologies for having taken a break today.”
“No, it’s I who should be sorry for before. ……why maid clothing?”
“Because I am a Master Maid.”

Everyone around the world, Nanaki has returned, it’s Nanaki.

As expected unless Nanaki wears these work clothes nothing will start. It is already the time when it is fine for Nanaki to be confident that Nanaki is a Master Maid in body and mind. In that case Nanaki must seriously consider Nanaki’s advancement to the kitchen. How can Nanaki break through the strong enemy known as head butler Ridolf? This is what it means to be itching to put Nanaki’s skills to use.

“Can I ask where you went?”
“To the imperial capital a little. I met some nostalgic faces.”
“Oioi, was it alright?”
“It was just a little argument. I also saw the face of the new Five Emperor candidate.”
“Which means the Lightning Empress will finally disappear.”
“Yes.”

It was just four years but Nanaki will not forget the pride in shouldering that title. Nanaki will probably leave Nanaki’s name in history as the worst emperor. If Nanaki can ask for it, Nanaki wants at least one person to remember the name of Lightning Empress Nanaki as the one who fought for the capital alone. Is this extravagance, Friend?

“Good work.”

That surprised me.

“……I did not think I would receive words of thanks.”
“It should be fine for there to be at least one person who thanks you. I think you are doing enough work for that.”

Work, huh? That was also something done according to Nanaki’s will, if asked whether there is justice in that the answer is no. That is the duty and responsibility of Nanaki as the Lightning Empress. That is why gratefulness is foolish, words of thanks really might not be right.

“My master.”
“What?”
“I will kill people to protect master. If it is not an acquaintance I will kill them unhesitatingly to save master.”
“You say that like it is a bad thing.”
“No. But I was asked about justice.”
“My judgement is lower than the word justice? What a cruel servant.”
“By no means, justice cannot be eaten.”
“Your basis is that?”
food is important
As expected, my master and I are deviated. Nanaki is used to being excluding from the world. But it was never as two people, so Nanaki is a little nervous, no, is this excitement?

“The one who advances is me. The one who decides is Nanaki. That is the thing called value in our relationship.”
“Certainly.”
“Then correspondingly Nanaki is my sword. You said that. Save me even if you need to kill.”
“As you will it.”

Ah, it really is here.

My home.

The end
