L.E.M. C.44: uuu

Contract of Rebellion

“————Wau”

That surprised me.

When Nanaki realised it, the world had become sideways, this is a sensation Nanaki has not had in a while. It seems Nanaki fainted at some point. For this Nanaki who has never completely fallen asleep as a habit from childhood to lie down on the bed completely defenseless. If this were that forest, Nanaki might have died. Nanaki of the sleeping forest.

First there is a need to organise Nanaki’s thoughts. It’s okay, Nanaki is always good at waking up. And good morning, Friend. Did you protect Nanaki? Thank you.

First, this is Nanaki’s room. Either head butler Ridolf or Fio-san carried me in. Nanaki has caused them much trouble, Nanaki must compensate for this failure through work. Outside the window is black, it seems the veil of night has descended. Nanaki will do the apologising tomorrow.

The reason Nanaki fainted is probably anemia and fatigue. Nanaki feels light-headed too.

For now, let’s eat something. Because of the excitement during battle it is hard to notice, but currently Nanaki is severely lacking blood. Nanaki’s body has never been this heavy. Let’s head to the kitchen as soon as possible. Nanaki believes that head butler Ridolf will understand once Nanaki explains the situation.

Now then, Nanaki sets forth with lightning spe————

“——edgyuu!?”

Steering failure. Ouch.

Condition is worst, high speed movement forbidden. Apparently Nanaki body is more worn-out than Nanaki imagined. If Nanaki moves with Nanaki”s usual sensations Nanaki will crash immediately. Nanaki is fine, but it would be bad if Nanaki headbutts master again. For now Nanaki will obediently walk. Ah, this is amazingly shaky.

You will help? No, Nanaki will accept just your feelings, Friend. Maybe if it’s a situation where Nanaki is cornered but Nanaki has not fallen far enough to easily borrow the hands of others in a relaxed situation. That is the actions of the weak. Nanaki must always be one of the strong. Borrowing the hands of others is only for after Nanaki expended the last of Nanaki’s desperate effort.
no, that tends to be too late
Then once again, to the kitchen.

With a hand on the wall, shuffling Nanaki. Fufu, certainly this might seem unsightly but this movement method actually has good efficiency. The burden on the body is reduced. Additionally the time is at night, the chance of someone walking around is low. This body was overused for master’s sake, it is not something to be ashamed of, but Nanaki also has some decency.

The name of the former Five Emperor Lightning Empress Nanaki is not light. Even master should have some kind of image of Nanaki. Nanaki does not want to destroy that. Bluntly speaking, this is Nanaki’s obstinacy. I don’t know why, but Nanaki wants to remain cool before master.

Accordingly shuffle along sneakily. For this special Nanaki, this is nonaki problem. Even so, I really expended too much mana in one day. To exhaust Nanaki this much, it can be said to be as expected of the Five Emprerors. But Nanaki was the one that won. Walk clamly. Shuffleshuffle.

“Afu”

Nanaki fell.

No, not yet. Nanaki will still endure it.

Nanaki is grateful for Friend who offered a hand, but Nanaki still cannot give up. Nanaki will admit Nanaki is acting strong. But Nanaki can still keep trying. Crawl along the floor and drag myself to the kitchen. What a sight, Nanaki definitely cannot show other people.

A little more to the kitchen, try hard, Nanaki. Tryhardingnanaki.

“……Nanaki?”

Floor, Nanaki is the floor. It’s not exposed, there is still a chance.

“……what are you doing?”

Don’t look.

“I have caused you a lot of trouble……”
“No, don’t mind it. In fact I’m sorry for overusing you.”

Nanaki wants to dig a hole to the mantle. And then fall in.

Of all people it had to be master walking around. Master lent a hand to the crawling Nanaki. If it was going to become like that then Nanaki should have obediently accepted Friend’s hand from the start. When Nanaki looked, Friend was pointing and guffawing at Nanaki. Remember this for when Nanaki recover.

“I will prepare something you can eat in your current state.”
“I cannot make master do something like that. I will prepare at least my own food myself.”
“Aren’t you so exhausted you can’t even stand properly. It’s not like you will be punished for relying on me a little.”

I see, he has spotted it well. But unfortunately Nanaki is ready to respond to that. Nanaki has recovered a little from sitting on the chair. Nanaki can at least prepare a meal

“It seems you are mistaken, master. I shall prove it————Gyau!?……prove it now.”
“I really thought you were cool for not withdrawing even after falling. So please give in.”

Ah, what a sight Nanaki is. No, is this where Nanaki should send my praises to the Five Emperors who managed who managed to corner Nanaki this far? Nanaki cannot deny that Nanaki was toyed with by the power called science. Indeed, if said that is a power that will change the world, it could be. Certainly that is, too strong.

Because anyone can use it.

“I think I will leave it alone for a while.”

Maser muttered that as he prepared the meal. With even saying it, he is probably referring to the man-made satellite, basically the exposed existence of science. It seems Nanaki managed to properly convey that before fainting. Nanaki doesn’ remember at what point Nanaki fainted, but it seems Nanaki managed to convey the necessary information.

“————Just that, the existence of science is also necessary for us third generation humans. After all, everyone wants to live long.”
“Do you understand that that is a dangerous path? My master.”
“I will use anything I can use, do you remember me saying that?”
“Yes.”.its come to this

It seems that his mind is already fixed. In that case Nanaki must be resolved. The path that master has chosen must not turn back at Nanaki. The one step master made towards glory that day, right now and here, the ending point of the prideful road will be decided.
it is a hard path
There will be difficulties.
it is a long path
There will be suffering.
it is a painful path
It will be next to impossible.
but there is Nanaki
Despite that master wishes to become a ‘hero’. Nanaki did not think that the pride he held that day would shine until now. That is not average bravery. That is why he is said to be deviated, my master. But if he wasn’t, he might have shrunk back at the size of this.
only the crazy can do the crazy
“Don’t you think the main characters of stories have no desires? Many of them are indifferent, to put it harshly, they put on airs.”

Certainly, in the adventure stories Nanaki borrowed from Salia most of the main characters were that type. Many of them have strangely steady courage. Yet they have no desires. This is Nanaki’s personal opinion, but it seems to be the image the weak would have of the strong. Nanaki can see a complain, a complain that it would be nice if only it were like that.

“Not just for my households resurrection, but for myself, I want fame.”

Yes, the main characters of stories lack this humanity.

“I want to end my life as a human who has accomplished something. Like a human, I want to be greedy.”

Dignified, Boldly.

There isn’t a single shadow of back when he was one of the weak, there is only the figure of the man who has become one of the strong and craves for the seat of the hero. The path to glory he walks has produced this answer. Clear exploits that can be easily understood by anyone has appeared as that path’s end point.

He really can be said to have good luck. But, this good luck might kill master. That path to a hero signifies rebelling against the capital. It would be a proclamation of war to all that exists in this world. That is the condition of becoming a hero.\

A great amount of courage is needed to advance down that path.\

Despite that———–

“Help me, Nanaki. For my sake.”

Yes, he smiles. A smile like that of a child, strikes Nanaki. What a splendid sight. Without becoming subservient to his own powerlessness, he tries to advance towards the too grand exploits that appeared before his eyes. For that he has boldly requested the assistance of this Nanaki. Cool, it makes me think that.

I see, this is not it. Mother.

“If it is fixed, then I will vow once again. That I will be your sword. Thus please, show Nanaki the real world.”

In order to affirm it.

“Well, I need to solidify my own strength for a while though. There is a mountain of things I took over I need to process, it’s so troublesome.”
“Then you need to not mind this maid, and work hard.”
“Well yeah. I still have some words I want to say though.”

Master served Nanaki the cooking he has made. The volume is a little small but it is deeply appreciated. Maybe because of thinking that and distracted by the cooking. Nanaki couldn’t dodge it.

“Thank you. And well done.”

Pat.

And then Nanaki was gently patted on the head.

“————“

Before Nanaki can put anything into words, master left the kitchen. That is not bad. In fact considering position, it can be said to be natural. Because no master would stay to care for the servant. But Nanaki will say it. Let Nanaki say it.

————what a selfish person.

It was just an instant, a moment in time that ended immediately. But for some reason Mother’s kind face came to mind and tears spilled over. How strange, this didn’t happen even when patted by Envy. Ah, I see. Even though Nanaki didn’t intend that. At some point there was a small hole, and by now it has become large.

Because Nanaki is a special human, Nanaki had always thought to prove it. And then Nanaki continued proving it. Resultingly, just as Mother said, everyone has accepted that Nanaki is special. That is why nobody, nobody patted Nanaki’s head. Because Nanaki is special, because that is natural.

I see, Nanaki always——

“……Uau…..uuuuu…..”

——wanted to be praised.
