  TN: Well, I hold off from saying that this is going to be a short arc for some reason I can’t fathom…… This is a short arc.

  I had fun reading all your speculations about how Will defeats Demon but guys, just a warning. This is a comedy. This is a comedy. This is a comedy. Important things must be said thrice.

  This arc will end with the next chapter. Well, to sum this arc up, it’s CROSS DRESSING, Ivan and maybe a dash of The DESTRUCTION DEVIL Demon. Oh, I forgot Spinel but eh, he’s not important.

  The direction Shadow-guy was pointing at was, of course, the place where the 3 of them were laying flat on the ground, covered by my barrier.

  If Zirco-san’s words were true, that [God Slaying Sword] Demon was using could cut through anything. This was going to be really problematic.

  The barrier I set up would most likely by cut down easily. All the attributes, Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and even Void, which didn’t even exist got cut/destroyed with that broadsword.

  I can escape, but what about the 3 of them?

  It went without saying for Ivan-san but I had experience with the aftermath of being bound by the [Collar Of Slavery]. They won’t be able to move for a while.

  If that Shadow-guy knew about it and that I would release the collars and planned all this in advance, I would admit that he was clever. As one would expect from an underworld specialist. His cunningness was unparalleled.

  ” Stop fooling around, you bastard! ”


  ” I am not fooling around. Sorry for this late introduction. My name is not ‘bastard’ but Spinel, the chief of [Shadows]. Please to meet you. ”


  《無》


  [TN: Mu. Nothing or Void I guess.]

  I cannot do nothing. Everything will end if I do! As he seemed like he was about to launch into a villainous laughter, I had enough time to set up a huge ball of nothingness behind Spinel’s back.

  Even the so-called Destruction Devil knew that if his summoner died, he would disappear as well so he dashed towards the ball of nothingness excitedly.

  Making use of that gap, I rushed over to the 3.

  [God Slaying Sword].

  A name that was overflowing with chunibyo-ness. As it was the extremely foul aspect of being able to cut anything. And that sword was fast approaching me. The slow-motion world became even slower. I thought I heard screams coming from behind me.

  Able to cut anything. I felt like I heard that somewhere before.

  [TN: Duh. Every LN ever made?]

  I couldn’t help but laughed even at this timing. Well, I do not think I can avoid this. In that case.

  “《こんにゃく召喚》! ”


  [TN: Konnyaku Shokan. Summon Konnyaku, a food that has 0 calories. ]

  I summoned a huge Konnyaku to appear in front of me. I apologize to the otherworld factory or supermarket or any family that I stole this from.

  As I stared hard, so hard that I could burn a hole, at the slowly swinging sword, something shocking happened.

  [TN: The slowness was the slow-motion thingy.]

  The edge of the blade touched the Konnyaku. It sank in a little and then……Boing went the weird elasticity of the Konnyaku and the sword was bounced clean off.

  ” Viva Konnyaku……! ”


  It seemed like Konnyaku can’t be cut in this world as well.

  It was my win.

  ” Destruction Devil? Stop joking. Destruction in front of creation doesn’t mean a thing! I will never recognize some chap who can only cut things to be the ‘Destruction Devil’. You are at most a ‘battle mania’. ”


  I sneered at Demon, who had a bewildered expression on his face, still holding onto his ‘bounced’ broadsword.

  ” 《花瓶召喚》! ”


  [TN: Kabin Shokan. Summon Vase. Ooooh, someone gonna die.]

  I summoned Matilda-san’s vase and dropped it above Demon’s head.

  Directly at the crown.

  ” Besides, the ‘god’ you speak of is an unreasonable being. For example, making a vase drop out of the sky. ”


  Demon collapsed. Then he dissolved into black smog that dispersed into the air.

  ” Please do not talk about god. That topic irritates me. ”


  Behind me with my smiling face, I am sure you can see an aura in the shape of John-sensei. That was how angry I actually was. I then turned to Spinel directly and let out my mana……

  Ah, how stupid I was. Won’t that end instantly?

  ” Spinel-san. This is the face of me being merciful. ”


  Spinel fainted just like that, with a stunned expressions stuck on his face. Well, I was rather evil in the end.

  ◆


  First you tie Spinel up with magic~♪


  Just a little, and a little more, increase the gravity and extract the mana~♪


  And ta-dah, Spinel-scroll is done~♪


  I tied Spinel up in an easy-to-understand way those children programs often used. I had extracted all of his mana and bound him up with my magic so even if he woke up, there was nothing he could do. Plus I increased the gravity hold on him too. There was no way he could move. Not even I could move.

  Buu-san, who as lying right beside, was making a face as if he stepped on a bug……no, as if he bit on that bug. Was it just my imagination? I want it to be.

  ” That…… was rather unbearable. ”


  It was my imagination that he said that with a miserable face. Yep.

  Anyway, I was happy that this trip, to chase after [Shadow], was over.

  To tell the truth, I was shocked at how fast this case was settled. At this speed, it was like I devised this whole thing before bringing the case to the ‘detective agency’. I couldn’t help but had these kind of doubts.

  Having said that, I can’t stay in Hattuo for a vacation either. Because we were here to do a job. We can’t delay the report.

  I wanted to go for a bit of sight-seeing but……there was no choice. Let’s come back for a vacation the next time.

  Well, for now, I transported the 3 at once, who can’t move because of the backlash from the [Collar of Slavery]. Of course, Spinel too. And when the scene changed to the bed in room of the inn I was staying.

  ” Wi…… Willlll-dono?! This place is?! ”


  ” Wi-Willia-chan?! ”


  Although I was neither Willlll or Wi-Willia, I resigned myself to it. It was normal for them to be confused. I was sure if I was in their shoes, I would be so shocked that my hiccups wouldn’t stop. Although I was not hiccuping right now.

  But, then.

  ” Aaaaaaahhhhhhaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiioooooooouuuuuuuu! ”


  Stop shaking me!

  I can’t explain like this even if I want to!

  ” Stop it! ”


  I shook off their hands and jumped. In the air, I then pulled out my paper fan from my pendent.

  ” Gwah! ”


  ” Uwah! ”


  Yosh, they calmed down. I waved my hand in front of their eyes and their line of vision followed it.

  Hm, they looked fine……I think……maybe? Yep.

  ” Do you need an explanation? ”


  “” Isn’t it obvious?! “”


  I shrank back from the perfect harmony from the both of them…… not. I stared in mute amazement as I regained my composure.

  ” Erm…… You should know that I am the eldest son of the Duke of Elzmu Country, Gion Beryl, right? ”


  ” Wait a minute. That was real? ”


  I didn’t expect I would pause at this stage.

  Ivan-san asked, his eyes wondering about desperately.

  ” Yes. ”


  ” I thought it was a gh…… ghost. ”


  At Ivan-san’s words, my eyes turns into dots. [TN: This]

  This was really a bolt out of the blue.

  ” ……Ghost? ”


  I can’t help but parrot his words.

  ” Yea. I thought it was a Noble ghost called Will that was possessing Willia-chan. ”


  ” ……That’s not it. Both inner and outer are all Will, you know? 100% man. If you want I can strip, no, please let me strip. ”


  Zirco-san put a stop to the me who was desperately trying to prove myself and erased the shame.

  Whoa, whoa.

  ” I am sorry, I went a little out of control there. ”


  ” No……no problem. ”


  ” The proof that I am not a ghost…… Oh right. 《悪霊退散》! ”


  [TN: Akurei Taisan, Banish, Oh Evil spirits!]

  White flames raised up at my chant and licked my body. The bed remained unburned. Although this spell was from the Fire attribute, it was a flame that deal with spirits, like ghosts, zombies and undead. The laws of nature?

  No no. This is a magical world that is full of fantasy, you know?

  Ah, correction.

  This is a fantasy world full of magic. Don’t be bothered about it too much. In laymen terms, it was something like the Holy Fire. [TN: Fox Fire in japanese]

  I felt a little sorry for surprising Ivan-san but this was the only way I could prove that I was not possessed by a ghost.

  ” Is this okay? ”


  ” Wh, what is this? ”


  ” Magic. A fire magic that banishes ghosts. It’s the magic you want the guild to cast on Will-dono. ”


  I nodded and it looked like Ivan-san finally understood.

  ” Eh. Then then then Willia…… Will-sama is really a noble? ”


  To grind it into him, whose eyes were pleading me to say it wasn’t true, I nodded sternly.

  ◆


  ” And, by the way, I can use magic of all attribute! ”


  Perfect timing, yay!

  I announced with a wink.

  ” Is……that……true…… ”


  ” ……Tee hee♪ ”


  Zirco-san simply fell back and fainted.

  Hm.

  It was lucky we were on my bed.

  ◆◆◆


  TN: I had a huge impulse to translate it as

  I love you, You love me~♪


  Let’s make a Spinel Scroll with me~♪


  With a little bit of magic ropes & gravity~♪


  Extract his mana & that’s all you need~♪


  He he he.

  And look, We got ourselves a John-sensei mention.
