Lightning Empress Maid Chapter 80

“Who Taught Her That”

“I will erase this shame.”

You deserve it

The Sword Emperor that suffered a shocking defeat was quite enraged.

arrogant idiot

Originally, he should have had the ability to accept the reality of defeat, but he couldn’t accept the fact that the opponent was a twelve year old girl. The Sword Emperor that was the leader of the heavenly Five Emperors, the guardians of the world, was beaten up by one little girl. It seems Silver’s pride is too tall to accept that fact.

just go get beaten up again

Resultingly, Silver has arrived at the decision to have a rematch.

pointless

It can be said to be as expected of him to choose to fight Nanaki again for his lost dignity. But I still cannot believe that Silver has any chance of winning. The world the little girl called Nanaki has lived in is different from us. It’s because I know that.

that fighting her is hopeless

“Nanaki has studies so don’t be a hindrance.”

gowai

That’s why I interrupted him. Well, there wasn’t much point though.

“Like I can let it end like this. I have fully understood her talent and strength. Next time I will be the one that wins.”

“Why are you getting so fired up against a child……”

“A child? Does that look like such a cute thing to you? Did you see the G.o.d that follows her? That’s a monster of a different dimension compared to the G.o.ds that we subjugated.”

“I know, he’s Ilveng=Nazgul. Even though you can’t win against Nanaki, how do you want to win against that G.o.d.”

“I just need to defeat Nanaki before he can materialise. it seems like he isn’t always by Nanaki’s side.”

“Nanaki said that Ilveng=Nazgul materialises independently though.”

“There’s no way a subjugated G.o.d would act without orders!”

“He’s a friend apparently.”

yep

It’s hard to believe, but it seems that Nanaki and Ilveng=Nazgul are friends. In the first place, can feelings of friends.h.i.+p form between a human and a G.o.d? Ignoring Nanaki for now, the other party is a monster that killed many other G.o.ds during the G.o.d world war.

dont ignore nanaki

A G.o.d that has even killed other G.o.ds, can he have feelings of friends.h.i.+p towards humanity that are like bugs to him? If they exist, then which would be the special one?

Nanaki, or Ilveng=Nazgul?

nanaki ofc

“Hmph, watch now, Envy. I will show you the might of the Sword Emperor.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

me too

In the end, I gave up persuading Silver half way through. Even if I thought it was pointless, the person in question, Silver, believed he could win the next time he fought. He is smart and his fighting ability is also high. That’s why the position of leader of the Five Emperors was given to him. That’s why, expecting him to have some sort of plan, I shut my mouth.

plan wont work tho…

“Please go easy on me!”

“——Gofuu!?”

see?

Speaking from the conclusion, there was no plan.

wouldnt have worked anyway

“Please go easy on me! Please go easy on me! Please go easy on me!”

“Sto——Gaah!?”

calm down nanaki

No, more accurately speaking, he probably had some sort of plan, but before that, he was caught by Nanaki. Right after the battle begun, Silver was mounted by Nanaki. Once it’s become like this nothing can be done. It was just G.o.dspeed fists mincing Silver’s face.

…not a pretty sight

Nanaki rampaged on top of Silver while misusing the keigo I just taught her. She is slowly beginning to learn keigo. Well, I will ignore whether she’s using it correctly for now. Nanaki had on a smile that seemed like she was having fun letting lose her punches, the most terrifying part is that she only hits the weak points of the human body with unerring accuracy.

(T/N: keigo–> polite tone/words etc, basically how (16y.o.)Nanaki usually speaks)

“My apologies! This s.h.i.+tty b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

“Hey, that part wasn’t needed.”

“Kay.”

sry~

But those undignified words that came out occasionally had been a worry for me. At the end, her speech finally became clean, but when she got agitated, her true colours would get revealed. Humans really do not change so easily.

they shouldnt

“He, help me Envy!”

no

The might of the Sword Emperor is amazing.

“Now, we will begin today’s studies.”

“kay”

“Reply properly.”

“Yes!”

“Good response.”

ai–>hai

Thanks to Silver, Nanaki’s strength is beginning to be known among the higher-ups in the capital, thus the molding of Nanaki’s character has naturally become more urgent. As expected, the highest priority is her speech. Because Nanaki’s appearance is pretty, aside from her tone, her bearing can pa.s.s with a little fixing. I think beauties are special in various ways. That’s because eyes will focus on a different place.

…guess so

Nanaki’s appearance is a rare type even in the capital. Black hair that I have never seen before, and pretty but unusual features. This child will become a beauty, I was certain of that since then. So the highest priority really is her speech, if I can just fix that, then there is a chance of victory.

Nanaki always wins

“When you are thanking people?”

“Thank you very much.”

“When you are apologising?”

“My apologies.”

all keigo…

Looks good, yes, Nanaki can do it if she tries. She learns fast if she is interested. She has quickly learnt how to read and write in order to read her books. Writing might still be a problem, but she has become able to write readable words. After that she just needs to practice.

seems she didn’t

“When asking people?”

“Excuse me, I wonder if I can have a little of your time?”

“Can I. No need for I wonder.”

“Can I have a little of your time?”

“You can.”

was liberal here in tling

Reading affected her but I guess she pa.s.ses.

“Then time to apply it. You injured Silver recently. Try apologising for that.”

“Hmph, that’s easy!”

“I wonder about that, you shouldn’t talk big too much.”

it won’t

If I don’t scold her occasionally she gets c.o.c.ky immediately. Well that part of her is cute, but for her own sake I need to keep her in check.

kawaii~

“Silver-san.”

so far so good

The start is great. She even added san properly. There might be hope, just as I thought that.

nope

“My apologies for Nanaki being strong.”

“That sounds extremely provocative.”

“It’s the truth.”

yep

I have learnt that it is not just speech, common sense is also importantly. Either one is no good, it seems I must make her learn both, that was the instant I got a clear plan. Well, speaking from the conclusion, it was impossible. The pride Nanaki has within her would not yield.

ofc not

She thinks that the strong, herself, is right, if you want to deny that then defeat her. Nanaki’s pride is in being strong. Unfortunately I cannot even imagine a person that can deny Nanaki’s pride.

Mother maybe?

Maybe, Nanaki’s mother, if it’s her……could she do it?

probably?

If it was her that Nanaki praises as strong, that I have never seen and don’t even know the name of.

mysterious woman

“When you tear Salia’s books?”

“My apologies for the book being weak.”

“When you win Raicou in an arm wrestle?”

“He is a weakling.”

“When I make a strange face?”

“Nfufu, busaiku”

“Oi”

(T/N: not sure how to translate busaiku, just google image it or smth, ブサイク)

Even though I had many thoughts on this, I taught Nanaki things one by one. As Nanaki’s dignity takes form, I started to have doubts. Soon, Ivaal-sama will be killed. It is already confirmed. Ivaal-sama, no, no matter who else cannot defeat Nanaki. She is a ‘special existence’.

yep

I worried, caught between my debt towards the hero of the capital and the definite love I felt for Nanaki.

…

“When you finish off Silver?”

“f.u.c.k you!!”

“UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI!?”

(T/N: Nanaki literally said f.u.c.k you in english…..wonder who taught her that~)

Author’s note:

Fire Memories II -End-

Hecate got engrossed in a series and finished the first 3 books in one day by staying up all night~

On the last book and also recovered my sleep, so I’m back to Nanaki~

I still find it a sad truth of the world that books that I like a lot just don’t last long exactly because I like them.
