Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master-Novel

Chapter 235 – Shaken

I’m not alone.

There’s Kron. There’s the prince. There’s Hilua. There’s also Jamdi’el, more or less.

And most of all, there’s Tre’ainar.

『Fufufufu, now… let us make it a fool of them… shall we? Hiro… Mamu…』

So far, Tre’ainar has supported me in battles against the likes of Jamdi’el and Paripi.

To Tre’ainar, they were former companions and subordinates.

But this time is different.

My parents. They were once Tre’ainar’s natural enemies.

『I shall now give instructions, listen carefully, child.』

“Right, Kron. Prince. Listen to me. You too, Jamdi’el…”

“Right!”

“Yes.”

“I’m here as well!”

“Nuh…?”

The one who killed Tre’ainar… and I’m his son… normally, this would be a dilemma, but now I don’t feel any vicious sense of revenge or resentment from Tre’ainar.

If anything, he had a smile on his face that makes you wonder what kind of prank he was about to play that he was so excited about it.

And…..

『Ready? To outsmart them and retrieve the little girl… you must first deceive them.』

If you’re going to do it, do it seriously. That’s what he’s trying to get across.

『As for the caveat, be careful not to make them overly cautious, so to speak. Do not make them conscious of the ‘battle’.』

Tre’ainar insisted on this as a necessary prerequisite for outwitting my parents.

『Jamdi’el uses her Heraldic Eye to analyze the opponent and read ahead. Therefore, she was able to avoid a fatal injury by foreseeing the future, and she could not catch your footwork. However, those two are different. Even against the Six Supremacy… they were anomalies among the other abominable seven heroes.』

「?」

Tre’ainar emphasized that my father and mother are special among the other Six Supremacy and the Seven Heroes.

I guessed it’s because of their simple fighting ability, but there is more to it than that.

『The moment they became conscious of the battle, their concentration and even their reactions change. Even if we attempt to guide the movements with logic, or anticipate and attack, they would often detect and prevent it with wild intuition and instinct.』

Wild…… right right right, talent talent talent he mentioned.

『However, they do not yet know that Jamdi’el can no longer fight. As such, even though they say they will listen, they will assume the worst-case scenario, that Yamidile will battle them. As a result, their vigilance is extremely high at the moment, and their nerves are on edge. Therefore, let us first have them shaken.』

「Shaken?」

『Uh huh, that is—-』

In other words, even if you try to anticipate their movements or use feints to outwit them, my father and mother, whose concentration is heightened by the state of battle, will ignore all theory and logic with their wild intuition and react on instinct to avoid danger or smash them to pieces.

That’s why Tre’ainar says, “Don’t make them conscious of the battle.”

But then, that’s convenient.

I not to attack out of concern for Amae, so I wouldn’t put my parents onto the battlefield anyway.

『――――――――, like that……』

「…… and this… feeling… no, wait. That strategy is… no, ah~, but…”

“Heh… isn’t that interesting?”

“Wow! I fully agree! Especially the first part, I concur!”

“What~, is that all I am doing?”

“Hey, wait! If something were to happen to Lady Kron … nay, just my being present right now is a liability, but… Nuu!!!”

I told everyone the strategy that Tre’ainar conveyed with a villainous smile.

As I recited it, I thought, “Can such an idiotic strategy work on the strongest hero in the world?” But…… if Tre’ainar says so…

『Oh. The remote island over there is most suitable. Then, land there――――』

“Yeah, let’s do it! Prince, Kron, we’re going down there! Let’s meet that idiot couple over there!”

“Hmph, I understand, boy!”

“Let’s go, Hilly!”

“I got it!”

“Kuh… Lady Kron… be sure not to force thyself…”

At that moment, a small island appeared at the edge of my vision. There is no sign of people living there.

It may be part of the territories of the Kingdom of Bethreal, but let me use it for a moment.

“Hiro! They went down to that island, didn’t they? Did they stop? Earth…… will he talk to us?”

“It wasn’t our voices… did he hear the little one? But…… somehow, to calm down and talk… that’s not the mood… what is it… feels like he’s itching to fight us…”

“No way… he wants to… fight us? No way… is that… Earth’s will?”

“I don’t know, but… be prepared for an attack. Jamdi’el is there too. Also, the good-looking guy on the Pegasus with Earth. That demon girl with Jamdi’el… probably the rumored goddess… she’s also a mystery… be on the lookout, okay?”

“Obviously, who are you talking to? Also, Amae, it’s a little dangerous from here on out, so don’t jump out, okay?”

My parents were chasing after us properly.

We’re going to land on the island.

And at that moment, Kron took a deep breath and started the plan… but…… are we really going to do this?

Even if they were Tre’ainar’s instructions, it was embarrassing.

But instead of being embarrassed, Kron was rather proud…

“Su~… hah?!”

“”Huh?!””

Father and mother change their expressions at Kron’s sudden movement.

You can see that they are alert so that they can deal with whatever pops out.

But……

“Earth’s Father! Mother! Nice to meet you, my name is Kron!”

“”……??””

“I have become very close friends with Earth, I will be Earth’s wife and have his baby in the future! So, pleased to make your acquaintance!”

“”…… Hah? ………? …… eh!? M, mo mo mo mo mother!?””

It wasn’t an attack or a technique, but an outrageous self-introduction that left both of them shocked… I mean, it would have been completely unexpected.

But it’s embarrassing…

Kron was very excited about this plan, and certainly, the expressions on father’s and mother’s faces were a mess.

“Ah, eh, th, then again, that’s what Earth’s friend Mortriage said… a young lady named Kron, who is also a goddess who draws the blood of God, will become Earth’s wife… d, dear me how so polite…?”

“B, but such a pretty girl looks so happy, oh, a baby… well, with a Demon… no, if they’re really in love with each other then it’s okay, but…”

“No, but Earth was so into Sadiz… I mean, that girl… in some respect, Tre’ainar…”

“Ah~, no more! So, Earth! I’ll listen to your story, including all that! At least just talk!”

No, you’re too upset, aren’t you?

And there’s more…

“Such are the circumstances, Hiro! Mamu! My cursed nemesis!”

“Jamdi’el!?”

“Earth Lagan and Lady Kron have already had naked relations!”

“”N… na, na, naaakeeeeeeeedd!””

By “naked relations”, she meant a bath! No, the bath is weird enough, though!

However, Jamdi’el’s remarks further confused the two.

I didn’t know it was so easy to disrupt their concentration.

Are you still the strongest hero in the world?

And unfortunately, although you seem to be confused, I have nothing to say to you two.

『Hmph, despite already being in the position of leading warriors… you have not changed, Hiro, Mamu… you can raise the morale of your comrades and inspire them, but… due to your basic stupidity, no matter how tense the situation, you two will be the first to be shaken by non-combat disruptions. In the absence of Mikado and Solja of the Seven Heroes, who were always able to give calm and precise instructions, the situation is as such…』

On the other hand, Tre’ainar, with his arms crossed and a wicked grin on his face, murmured as if looking down on them…

『Oi, child. You see, they are already inferior to me in that aspect, are they not? See? Were it not for all seven of them in addition to all the magic power of the whole, I would have bested them, would I not?』

He said to me with a smirk on his face… ah~…… come to think of it…… when we first met, he was concerned about that kind of thing… surprisingly Tre’ainar also had a childish side…

But……

『Now, the opponent’s concentration has been disrupted. Let us go at once. Besides…… you shall show them a portion, too, will you not?』

「…… Huh?」

『Even if tis not a battle, there is growth that can be demonstrated, and I know you have grown tremendously since that last match… show it off!』

「Hehe… Osu!!」

With this, I’m a simple enough kid who can easily get on board!

“Come on, the performance starts here! Let’s go, Prince!”

“Yes, I shall cover thee!”

Well, right! I’ll outwit them, surprise them a little, and take my sister and be on our way!
