Lightning Empress Maid Chapter 91

Just a while ago, that was the sanctuary that Nanaki protected.

was

For the emperor, also for many people, the sword I picked up for them is no longer here. Because it has been thrown away, since it is no longer necessary for Nanaki. I was unnecessary, was rejected, and even had my life targeted. So I will probably never pick it up again.

never

So Nanaki will walk, on my own feet.

with master

Certainly that was a betrayal and  the cause that made me doubt Mother’s words. That time when we went our separate ways, I did have slightly painful feelings. But, thanks to that there are people I got to meet. Because I kept walking, because Nanaki continued walking even when denied by the world. Nanaki had to strength to not lose, because Nanaki had legs that could keep walking.

so just keep going

We have legs to advance. When I think back to it, there were times when I was living peacefully in the capital that I felt uncomfortable. That was surely because I stopped. How could this Nanaki that respected Mother, the Mother I loved, said was a special human, stop? Indeed, Nanaki is special.

strong

That’s why Nanaki will advance.

enough to walk alone

No matter if that is a sanctuary, or a forbidden area, Nanaki will brush aside all of that. That day, I made a vow on the rooftop in the evening light. At that moment, a contract was formed. Nanaki feels that that is happiness, Nanaki wishes to be with him on the path he walks.

evening? rooftop?

——If he wishes it, I will grant it.

“Make way, Raicou.”

“Nuu……..”

“Or, will this be the final place you use your life?”

just for sakura…

I asked the enormous shadow standing in my way.

fight?

Nanaki knows, Raicou won’t last much longer. A second generation consumed by magic necrosis, being born from the first generation that were the keystone of humanity, him being alive right now is already a miracle. The majority of the second generation have had children and already left this world. Is it okay for that prideful life that has been dedicated to humanity to be used here?

wasteful

If, you say, it is okay. Then Nanaki will end it for you.

for sakura

“Isn’t it fine, it’s just sightseeing. If she wanted to do something to the emperor she would’ve done it when that conference ended.”

“You too Salia?……you women are too soft on Nanaki!!”et tu salia?

“Sorry to interrupt, Silver. But your thinking is too reckless. The reason to fight Nanaki has ‘finally’ disappeared, yet you intend to kill each other again over whether to show some sakura trees? Think about the risks of making Nanaki an enemy.”

“Then that’s just letting her do as she likes!”

“Then can you win?”

“Guu…….!!”

no~

Ignoring Silver whose mouth curved down at Salia’s words, I looked at Salia who unexpectedly came to Nanaki’s aid. For some reason many people avert their eyes when they make eye contact with Nanaki, but Salia and Envy are different. I cannot see any ill will in Salia’s clear eyes. There doesn’t seem to be any kind of calculation.

for the yuri

Then why, there isn’t even a need to think that. It’s because she has the natural feeling of not wanting to fight with Nanaki. That is different from love like Envy’s, that is her feelings as the Sky Empress guarding the world. Sword Emperor Silver cannot accept it from his position as the leader of the Five Emperors. But, she is different.

or that

They cannot defeat Nanaki, she has made that conclusion.

smart

“Then let us proceed.”

to the sakura!

Even if I wait it is a waste of time, it will still be a while before Silver can make that conclusion. Nanaki is neither kind enough nor free enough to wait for that. I boldly pa.s.sed by Silver who was conflicted and glared at Raicou who still stood in the way. Words are not needed, Nanaki has said it once. Make way. If he still does not, then Nanaki will brush him aside.

just for sakura

“…………..”

buffering

Resignation, Raicou quietly backed down. Now there is no obstructions, this has become quite a good result. Nanaki suggests to Nanaki that at these times a smile is necessary. The Five Emperors had their share of worries, a smile of thanks. Isn’t this quite a friendly response? Then I shall do it, watch closely.

….timing again

Nanakismile of deep grat.i.tude. Everyone around the world, it’s Nanaki.

nanakismile of gloating

“……chi, this way.”

no ill will

You, was that intentional?

Nanaki is just …

I had feelings of dissatisfaction towards Silver, who turned on his heels as if he was aiming for it. I felt the urge to kill him, but knowledgeable Nanaki knows. Rage, that is one of Nanaki’s great sins, I should restrain myself. I must be a Nanaki fitting to be master’s servant. As expected of Nanaki, a splendid maid.

great restraint

But it is a special smile, I would at least like master to have a look. How is it, my mast——

“What are you smiling at, rabbit-san?”

hiiii

……………giigii!

intermission

When we arrived at the deserted garden, I heard the sound of many intakes of breath from behind.

sugoi

The pink garden, fortunately the weather today is good and the scenery reflected in everyone’s eyes is in its best condition. Thus it can be said that she has reached it. To her who had aimed to become an imperial knight for this objective, it might have become an extreme shortcut, but she should be praising her own luck.

and nanaki

She has been set on looking for the sakura tree that the j.a.pp.e.n.i.se loved. What is she thinking about, looking at the beautiful petals dancing in the air and those blooming trees. About her lost home land? Or possible the parents that told her about them? I can ask her about it later, because the she and Nanaki are friends.

I want to see too

“…………”

only been to j.a.pan in winter ;-;

Without blinking, she stared at the scenery, she probably needs a little time.

how about master

After that, there was only silence as time pa.s.sed. Aside from Nanaki, Meia-sama and Fio-san, for those who has never seen a sakura tree, being captivated by this tree can be considered as natural. That is how beautiful this tree with pink blooming flowers is.

yakimochi

Without speaking, everyone immersed themselves in the scenery. Even Nanaki likes this beautiful sakura. Experiencing this beauty which I have not seen in a while is healing for my heart. I am unaware if this is because of my j.a.pp.e.n.i.se blood, but beautiful things are beautiful, that’s all.

anyone can enjoy beauty

If possible, I would like to show this to Mother.

…

“…….Thank you very much, Nana……no, Nanaki-san.”

ur welc

Not Nana, nor with sama.

good sign

That means between us, fake names are already not needed. Her dearest wish has been granted. Nanaki does not know what humans who have accomplished their objective do. Because Nanaki is still immature and have not yet accomplished my objective. That’s why I looked at Akiha-san, at Nanaki’s friend.

s.h.i.+p?

The same black hair as Nanaki and petals of her lost home land dancing in the wind. She had on a fresh, a good expression. I immediately understood that without any hesitation, she was already looking at the next objective. I think that is exactly what is fitting for Nanaki’s friend. She will probably continue advancing to the future with pride.

new purpose

“Then if you are grateful”

?

I will ask for compensation.

O.o

“Is it not already unnecessary? Akiha.”

“……I guess so, Nanaki”

no more san

The two of us smiled. Not because we are the same race, not because we are both servants. Because I wasn’t really used to it, there were many situations I didn’t know how to deal with. She is neither a Five Emperor, not a G.o.d. But still, I want to send Akiha this smile and words.

finally

“Congratualtions, Akiha.”

friends

To Nanaki’s first friend.
