“Oh! We’re here!” (Rejnhard)
As Rei-san stopped, we arrived at our destination which is in front of a fairly rge building that’s not tree shaped, indicating that it was purely made by hand.
“Unn? Why are we here again Rei-san, Fia-san?” (Kaito)
“Fufufu, this is actually a surprise for you, you know Miyama-kun.” (Sylphia)
“U-unn? A surprise for me?” (Kaito)
“Yes indeed, it may have taken a long time to build it but now we have a cinema with a working video projection magic tool!” (Rejnhard)
Heeee, a cinema huh, and a magic tool for projecting a movie? I never expected to see a combination of otherworlder technology and magic technology here, it seems interesting.
“A cinema? If I remember correctly, the magic tool for projecting video and movies was indeed already made by Kuro’s company but it’s very expensive.” (Kaito)
“Fufufu, yes indeed, but we all have gathered our money to buy it so we can build a cinema to show your heroic tale for everyone to see!” (Sylphia)
“...Say what?” (Kaito)
“Hahaha! It’s okay to be proud and show your heroic deeds, you know!” (Rejnhard)
Heeee, I see, so the reason why we don’t need to ask anything anymore is because we shall see Kaito-san’s so-called heroic deed(lol) on a big screen huh. But for some reason Kaito-san looked shaken and surprised at their words.
“N-n-nonono! I never asked this!?” (Kaito)
“Eh? I thought I'd send you a letter about this matter? I thought you would give us the go.” (Rejnhard)
“EEHH!? Now that I thought about it, I saw a letter but it went missin—!!! ALIIIIIIIIIIICEEEEEEEE!!!!!!” (Kaito)
Nn, so Kaito-san actually doesn't want his heroic deed(lol) shown to us but Alice-san decides to interfere and causes misunderstanding.
The biggest proof that Alice-san tampered with the letter is the fact that she didn’t show up when Kaito-san yelled her name with all his might.
Alice-san, how dreadful you are. Pnning to expose Kaito-san’s bck history in front of us so nonchantly…
“A-a-anyway! Are there movies other than that!? I believe the magic tool can hold more than 1 movie right!?” (Kaito)
“Eh? There aren't any, or rather, we bought the magic tool just before new year so there isn’t any time to make a new movie. But we do have time to make a movie about you because of a mysterious letter that challenged us to make a movie about you many months ago so you can expect the quality of the movie!” (Rejnhard)
“That’s definitely Alice, that idiot, just you wait, there’s gonna be a piko piko hammer punishment ter. Um, Rei-san, can we cancel this appointment?” (Kaito)
“EEEHHH!?!? But we worked really hard on this, you know!?” (Rejnhard)
“Yeah!? Please watch it for just the first 20 minutes! So the hard work of the one involved can be worth the trouble!” (Syphia)
“Guh…” (Kaito)
Nn, on one hand, the elves had worked really hard and poured in a lot of work and money to make the movie. I dunno how pricey those magic tools were but I bet they’re really expensive. But on the other hand, Kaito-san’s sanity is on the line so he’s really shaken by this.
Usually we can just cancel the movie and go straight to the inn, but all of the sudden there are four people grabbing Kaito-san’s shoulder which makes him startled.
“U-unn? Hajime? Kaori-san? Shizuku-san? Aiko-san? Why are you all smiling at me?” (Kaito)
“Iyaa~ Kaito-san, how about we go inside and watch the elves’ hard work?” (Hajime)
“NONONO!? I’m not gonna let you al—” (Kaito)
“Even though the elves reaaaaaaally put their work, blood and tears in this movie? As the son of artists, that makes me bleed my heart, you know? To see a work of art to be wasted, never seeing the light of day is bsphemy, you know Kaito-san?” (Hajime)
“Guuhh… b-b-but! It’s my bck history, you know! You already experienced this right!?” (Kaito)
“It’s okay! I won’t spread it to anyone! And I shall brainwash anyone who dares to spread them! I swear to my nickname “The Demon King” and to the Nagumo family!” (Hajime)
“THAT JUST MAKES IT WOOOOOORSEEEEEE! And no brainwash!” (Kaito)
“But you see Kaito-san, I want you to experience what we w—erhem, I just don’t want their work to go down to waste.” (Hajime)
“You almost said you want me to experience what you went through right!? You can’t fool me! We shall leave this pce ASAP!” (Kaito)
“Kaito-san! It’s okay! I swear to my nickname “Angel” that everyone here will never spill your bck history, I think! I think!” (Kaori)
“That didn’t reassure me at allllllllll. It just makes me feel anxious instead, especially those repeated words at the end there!” (Kaito)
“Kaito-san! As the older one here, you ought to show us how to be a proper adult no? So accepting your bck history is also a way to be a proper adult, I also swear to my nicknames “Onee-san” and “Pink Ranger” that we will never ugh at your bck history!” (Shizuku)
“Ugghh, that’s tru—I mean, no means no! And what the heck with those nicknames?!” (Kaito)
“Kaito-san! I can promise you that all of us are good people, I swear to my title “The Goddess of Farming and Victory” that we will never spread it or ugh at it! So let’s join the alliance!” (Aiko)
“Like I said! No means no! And why are you all suddenly sharing your nicknames!? Is it to make me feel guilty and butter me up!?’ I will never fall for that trick! And what the heck do you mean by alliance!? I don’t want to join some shady group so leave me out of this matter!” (Kaito)
Nn, it seems like Hajime, Kaori, Shizuku and Aiko tries to butter, or rather, pressure Kaito-san up so they can have a friend in this matter since they have experience this when we went to Tortus with our family, so they pretty much try to drag Kaito-san down together with them. We, naturally, look at four of them with both an exasperated and reproachful gaze.
But of course, the Miyama household don’t know about this matter so they just look at them with a conflicting gaze while Rei-san and Fia-san were cheering those four by saying “Yeah! Let’s see the movie!” or “It’ll be fun!” or something simir.
But surprisingly, or unsurprisingly, Kaito-san holds on to his own will and rejects all effort and pressure they muster.
“Kuh, to think you’re this stubborn Kaito, You’re not God’s lover for nothing. Why don’t you just let us in and suffer together with us?” (Hajime)
“Like I said! I won’t yield and—unn?” (Kaito)
“I swear I will make you join ou—Myuu?” (Hajime)
When Hajime, Kaori, Shizuku and Aiko almost gave up from persuading Kaito-san, Myuu suddenly came up to him and tugged his shirt.
“Myuu-chan? What’s wrong?” (Kaito)
“Myuu wants to see it nano, Kaito Onii-chan’s effort, Myuu wants to watch it nano.” (Myuu)
“B-b-but Myuu-chan…” (Kaito)
“Is it no good nano? I know Kaito Onii-chan will look cool in front of the screen nano, just like Papa and Onee-chan.” (Myuu)
“Ugghh…” (Kaito)
Nn, Kaito-san might be the mightiest being in Trinia but even he can’t reject Myuu’s request when she pleads with her sad eyes. As expected of Myuu.
…For some reason I can hear four voices coming from behind that yell “GO MYUU GO!!!!!” But that must be my imagination.
“Is it no good?” (Myuu)
“...” (Kaito)
As Myuu asks Kaito-san with all of her heart and soul, Kaito-san then takes a deeeeeeep breath and lets out a biiiiiiiiig sigh with a tired expression on his face and wryly smiles at Myuu.
“Okay, just this once okay.” (Kaito)
“”””YOSHAAAAAAAA!!!”””” (Hajime, Kaori, Shizuku, and Aiko)
“And why are four of you the ones who are happiest about it! Jeez…” (Kaito)
“Waaaa!!! I can’t wait nano!” (Myuu)
Nn, looks like Kaito-san yields in front of Myuu-chan’s powerful plead and gives us the okay that makes four victims of fanatic groups make a guts pose as if they have found a new comrade that they can rete to.
“Don’t worry Kaito, our comrade. Let’s suffer, together.” (Hajime)
“By the way, Kaito-san! Are there any fanatic groups that worship you as their God? There is one isn’t there! Isn’t there!” (Kaori)
“There also should be a weird club or association that’s obsessed about you isn’t there!?” (Shizuku)
“And there should be a statue of you built somewhere isn't there!?” (Aiko)
“There isn't! And there shall never be any weird fanatic group or association or a statue of me or whatever! If there’s any then I will use Shiro-san’s authority to take them down!” (Kaito)
“””Ehhhhhhh~””” (Kaori, Shizuku and Aiko)
Nn~, they seriously try to make sure that Kaito-san becomes the same as them huh. Nevermind Hajime and Aiko, even Kaori and Shizuku also do that, they even asked if Kaito-san also had a weird club or statues dedicated to him.
But to be honest, judging from the many elves that seek to shake hands with Kaito-san before, I wouldn’t be surprised if he has one…
“Unn, it’s a good choice to not tell Kaito-san about the association, by the way Luna-san, how’s the statue?” (Alice)
“Rest assured, the statue is safe and sound in Death King-sama’s castle, ready to be transported back.” (Luna)
“That’s good to know, I spend a lot of time making that and it’s my masterpiece so take care of it okay~” (Alice)
“Please don’t worry, the association polish the grimes on the statue every night.” (Luna)
…For some reason I can hear a conversation that I want to throw a really big tsukkomi at with a whisper so small that almost no one can hear it. Now that I think about it, Luna-san isn’t really surprised when she sees the building. That means she also orchestrated this whole charade…
I then looked at Shia to see if she heard their conversation and her rabbit ear twitched a bit but then she flopped down her ear indicating she didn’t hear anything.
So we thought the same thing huh~ as expected of my best friend and little sister.
Yup, those conversations? Must’ve been my imagination~
.
.
.
After we finished watching Kaito-san’s heroic tale(lol) about how he saved Rigforeshia, the four victims of fanatic groups then gathered around a sitting Kaito-san with a sympathetic smile on their faces.
“Iyaa~ Kaito-san, your heroic tale is truly awe-inspiring to see!” (Hajime)
“True! When you saved the girl Hina-chan from the bck bear’s attack, I thought you’re very heroic and cool, isn't that right Shizuku-chan!?” (Kaori)
“T-that’s true! And you even decided to use your prize on winning the competition to repair Rigforeshia, you’re truly a hero!” (Shizuku)
“Y-y-yeah! I was really moved! Kouki-kun should learn from you! Right guys!?” (Aiko)
“Kaito Onii-chan is so cool nano!” (Myuu)
Now why do they all compliment Kaito-san? It’s because they tried to lift Kaito-san’s spirit that's mostly dead because of the mass bck history revealed via a movie. He sat while looking at the clear blue sky with a distant gaze, totally burned to ash…
By the way, the movie itself, while well made, is very long, like three hours long. And each and every single moment in it is filled with exaggeration words like “with his firm will and mighty strength, he then charges to the people in need of help and saves them from their untimely demise.” or something simir, which makes Kaito-san cover his face with both of his hands feeling shame.
Luckily, Lilia-san, Luna-san and Sieg-san was there to tell us about the event accurately, so basically at the first day of the Sacred harvest festival, the bck bears suddenly invade Rigforeshia and one of them target one of the otherworlder that was caught in the hero summoning named “Hina”.
This “Hina” girl was so afraid and surprised she couldn't move when a bck bear attempted to attack her, which then Kaito-san saved her by stalling the bck bear. Kaito-san, as the matter of course, didn’t beat said bear and was even injured and Lilia-san is the one who killed it. The movie also said that he killed all of the bck bears but in reality, Isis-san is the one who made the bck bear extinct.
Seriously, they said that while most of the movie content is exaggerated, the amount of bck bears that invade Rigforeshia is pretty much accurate and there’s at least several hundred of them invading Rigforeshia plus other in the elven forest in the movie, and Isis-san just erased all of them from existence. She truly is the Death King.
But what’s more shocking is the fact that the bck bear that injured Kaito-san before is actually Anima-san. If you think about it, the one who injured Kaito-san is spared and even becomes Kaito-san’s wife while the rest are gone from existence, how ironic…
Anyway, the whole movie was very exaggerated but also very well made so it’s a good movie overall. But the main problem is that it deals a lot of damage to Kaito-san’s SANS value more than we thought, so he’s pretty much dead inside as he endured his shame to the very end.
And now, the four victims of fanatic groups felt guilty about it and tried to lift Kaito-san’s spirit up again while we looked at them with conflicting gazes.
…Certainly They didn’t do it because they feel ominousness from a certain gothic lolita girl or a phantom girl from a pce faaar faaar away, no they don’t. They also certainly didn’t do it because they feel malice in Kaito-san’s neckce which is Kuro-san’s gift according to him, nope.
For some reason, cold sweat poured down on our face continuously like a waterfall.
A-a-anyway! Let’s lift Kaito-san’s spirits up so we can go to the inn and end the day with a happy note!
Hmm? As four of them still tried to lift Kaito-san’s plummeted SANS value, he then stood up and walked closer to me with a serene smile.
“So, Yue-san, can I ask you something?” (Kaito)
“...Nn? What is it Kaito-san?” (Yue)
“I believe you have magic that can repy the past right?” (Kaito)
As Kaito-san asked me that, the four of them suddenly went pale and whispered ah, we might have gone too far.
“...I see, I can do that, unfortunately, we need to go to the exact location where an event takes pce in order to repy said event.” (Yue)
“I see, then it’s fine, I can always visit your world…” (Kaito)
As he said this, Kaito-san then slooooowly move his gaze towards the four victim of fanatic groups with a wry smile. But we can tell that it’s not the usual smile full of kindness he usually makes, which makes them sweat bullets.
“...And see all of your bck history, yeah? And not just me, all of my lovers and my family will be present to see them so can you do that Yue-san?” (Kaito)
“Nn! Order received! I can assure you the dispy will be at the highest resolution! Even more than the combination of 4K HD and Ultra Blu Ray!” (Yue)
“””“YUE(-SAN)!?”””” (Hajime, Kaori, Shizuku and Aiko)
Nn, as I accepted Kaito-san’s request with no hesitation, the four of them raised their voice at me with a dumbfounded face, but naturally, I didn't mind them, or rather, I didn't hear them.
Eh? What did you say?
Putting that aside, It seems that the four of them realized that there’s no stopping Kaito-san, or rather, the Miyama household from visiting Tortus now so they can only give up and accept their fate.
Well they did force Kaito-san to reveal his bck history so revealing their bck history as well is well deserved and fair.
However, I’m almost 100% sure that there will be so many problems that we might die from overworking but I’m sure our future self will handle it with ease.
Do your best, our future self!
Anyway, since the matter was dealt with, we decided to go to the inn and rest for the Sacred Tree festival tomorrow.
Afterword:
Serious-senpai: …Did you just raised an enormous fg?
Author: Gotta make things interesting. I’m also curious about the Miyama household’s reaction in not only Tortus but also other worlds in the Arifureta series. Things might be really bad for them but hey, it’s the house resident’s job to properly show their houses, right?
Serious-senpai: You… you’re definitely a demon…
