Baka-Tsuki is run by readers, for the readers! We do not have any way to collect any financial donation, nor does [[user:thelastguardian|thelastguardian]] seek or ask for any.

There is one donation if you truly wish to contribute to Baka-Tsuki, something that is far more valuable than any currency you can offer.

(Although If you can, we would be more then happy to accept it, just as long as it can be transferable over short text messaging services or bluetooth.)

If you can donate just 30 minutes of your valuable time, to help edit, proofread and perhaps translate for us, then that would be more then anything we could ask for! :)

Thank you for contributing and I hope you enjoy your reading!

=== Thank you!! ===

I absolutely loved Suzumiya Haruhi anime, but reading is even better! Thanks so much for bringing it to the English-speaking people. I can't even imagine now living in the world without this novel!

I hope Im in the right area to do this...I want to thank you all for your hard work on Tora Dora! Hopefully more gets translated soon on volume 5 so I can continue. I would love to know where you get the raws at to help fill in the blanks in the mean time. I've had no luck finding them...

(in keeping with rhyming spirit)

An awesome job. Just wait, I'm gonna voluntarily arrest the whole net and drag 'em here to read this.

Suyumiya Haruhi. Redefining awesome. One chapter at a time.

I sincerely ask you to accept my gratefulness towards you for translating the "Haruhi Suzumiya" novels into English. Tanigawa Nagaru is a great author and I am certain that these books belong to the category of being one of the finest works of science-fiction that I have ever read. Really looking forward to the next novel; the last one built up quite a tension. Watching the anime was great but reading is just as good even if not better. It's hard to say where I would be without your work. If there was only a way to thank you apart from writing here. And to thank Nagaru.

=== Thank You So Much ===

I really want to Thank you guys for the Clannad Game Translation Project. Without you guys, It'd take me a couple more years of learning Japanese and leaving my Clannad Game all boxed up in my closet collecting more dust. I'll try and help you guys edit since I'm not good enough for translating yet. Thanks a bunch guys! I really hope this thank you page grows bigger!

=== OMG Thank you ===

Thank you guys again so much. I sincerely appreciate your work on Zero no Tsukaima. I looked everywhere for the light novel translations but alas to no avail till i found it here. It is my favorite anime and now i can finally apreciate where it came from. THank you again for your hard work. I only wish i could donate some of my time but have no idea how to edit translate or proofreed but if theres anything an average schmoo just tell me and ill get right on it.

=== A HUGE thank-you ===

I would like to say thank you to everyone at Baka-Tsuki. Now that I've started translating myself I can truly be thankfull to you for all the hard work you did (I've never imagined it would be this hard). I would also like to humbly apologise for all the times I've been impatient and thought of you badly (even though you guys didn't know about it).

=== Thanks for "Spice and Wolf"! ===

My thanks for picking up the "Spice and Wolf" project :). I think those novels really deserve to be translated and presented to a wider public, so far you guys are the first ones to bother with that. This may sound a bit biased, but I'm especially impressed with the quality (and the pace) of work done by the one going by "Judgment26" - your effort is much appreciated, please keep up the good work!

=== Thanks for Maria Sama Ga Miteru!! ===

=== Great job with Marimite novels ===

Thanks for great translation of Marimite novels, very well done. I really enjoy them. I am looking forward to another chapters. English language isn't my native language, so I am trying help and correct at least obvious typos (there is small amount of them) ^^.

=== Thank you for Lots of Stuff ===

for working on Clannad, Haruhi, Toradora, and picking up Tomoyo after. I appreciate it. I am still working on my Japanese for the time being...but hopefully very soon I can assist the internet community in translating. I will also try to find the time to do some editing. Well keep up the good work everyone!

=== Thank you! ===

Thank you very much for this incredible site. I'm amazed that the project is actually successful--unlike so many others nowdays. A special thank you for the Spice & Wolf series, which I absolutely adore. :-)

=== My deepest gratitude for Strike Witches novels! ===

Thanks for working on Strike Witches novel version, it really gives a lot of information that anime never mentioned. I'm really enjoying it so far. Good luck, Selkirk, Piroko, and Nojiko! I'm cheering on you~

=== 'Tsuki, You've changed my life for the better ===

Thats the truth. To be honest, I have shunned literature for the past three years. I turned to manga, video games, and other forms of visual instant gratification. Naturally, I soon after became infatuated with anime, which eventually lead to the discovery of this site. Although moving media contains some of the most incredible artwork known to man, I soon found overindulgence unsatisfying. I needed something to feed my imagination, and for some reason the images began to taste like a poor meat substitute. I desired mental exercise: to render the hazy images that linger for but a moment in the turbulence of the minds eye. Your hard work, this site, was my deliverance. It brought me to appreciate the art of literature once again. I found myself stuck on the site reading for days, and this past week I have felt happier than I have in years. If not obligated, I am impelled to thank you for this experience. I hope this great site continues to grow. Thanks again, for making life a bit more bearable.

Maou-ppoi no:Volume 1 Chapter 1

2015-02-19T01:31:46Z

Demon: /* Chapter 1 - Not Quite Like the Devil */

==Chapter 1 - Not Quite Like the Devil==

The empty classroom after school was an alluring empty place.

It’s very common for things like “ I love you….Kiss me,” kind of confessions, or like stealing the girls’ gym clothes. But then again, these were all just my imagination.

However, right now in front of my eyes was a girl in strange clothing.

It was all black, making her look like a villain or some sort, but with high exposure; the exposed belly looked very soft, and a black cape topped it off for some unknown reason.

She seemed to be the same age as me, it made me think that she was one of the students of this school. But why was she wearing these kinds of clothes, not a school uniform?

In addition, it was not only her clothes that were weird.

“….Err…Should I introduce myself?”

She then began to look at a piece of note, and started mumbling unclear things, adding to the strangeness of her clothing.

“…Uh…let me tear you to pieces…ah…no…wrong one…”

Hey hey! Did she not just say something very terrifying? This is very suspicious!

No, maybe me peeking at a girl inside a classroom is even more suspicious.

But wait a minute… This is quite justified!

Let’s look back for a bit. After the school was over, when it was nearly evening, I rushed back to the classroom.

It’s all because I accidentally left my H-game in the classroom.

How could I ever forget the masterpiece of my collection of H-games, the “ Flanders Childhood. “

But then again, bringing an H-game to the school was a problem on its own.

Anyways, I ran back to the classroom in panic and arrived in front of it.

After calming my ragged breath, I found something.

I could hear a girl’s voice somewhere nearby, probably from the classroom next door.

It seemed like she was talking to no one but herself, doing a monologue.

Maybe she was using the table’s corner to do exciting things.

Really hoping that this would unfold an H-Game scene, I wanted to sneak a peek.

….No, thinking about it carefully, there was no justification in it!

Unfortunately, my expectation was crushed.

It was only a girl with strange clothing whispering something weird, and I was left speechless.

To say it clearly, wearing these kinds of clothes was so eye-catching.

But I think there was something else more eye catching than her clothes.

And that was because she’s so beautiful.

Her long and smooth long black hair, the perfect cute face of her, her bright and clear eyes, slender limbs, all the material needed to be a beautiful girl indeed were there.

She was such a beautiful girl that it would not be strange to have a doll modeled after her. Even selling her underwear as separate merchandise would not be strange.

Who’s she anyways?

“Er….Devil King Wu Nai… um, well….”

It seemed that I heard the word ‘Devil King’ or something.

Well, those clothes she wore looked like what the devils would.

This school’s rules did not state ‘Go to school in a cosplay and act properly ‘, these kind of rules were like those Comiket<ref>Comiket: in short , Japan’s annual doujinshi sales.</ref> rules.

So then…. Is she a member of the drama club? Maybe she’s practicing the scene when the devil king made an appearance. But to even wear these kinds of clothes in practice, such devotion!

It would be better to leave her practicing, and leave quietly.

“…and then laughter….uehehehehe!”

“What kind of devil laughs like that? Surely not like ‘Uehehehehe’ ?! “

“Who, who’s there!!!”

Oh no! I accidentally retorted her weird laughter!

“…Well…Um…Sorry…I just want to know what you were doing…”

To get rid of this weird atmosphere, I opened the door, and hesitantly walked in.

I thought she would be angry at me peeping her, but she was just quietly staring at me with a calm face.

….How come?

If a girl as cute as this was staring at you, no matter what, it would make you feel a bit restless.

No no no no, please calm down, me. Up to this day, I have been receiving stares from many girls have I not? There is no special meaning behind it.

Though it’s common in H-games to have those….

“….Ah! Right !”

The girl seemed to remember something, and smiled.

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the girl turned her back on me.

And then she slowly turned back again…..

“You have come at the right time, O brave one! “

Declared the girl with a stiff and rigid tone.

Brave one?

What is this the ‘brave one’?

Did that performance before have this kind of thing?

“I have been waiting for this moment to come.”

She continued her speech, ignoring me who froze in place.

What is this about? The continuation of that drama practice?

No, wait…

These kinds of lines, it felt like it came out from anime or manga. This girl also called herself the ‘devil king’ before.

“Wu Nai….”

If it’s true, the next line would be….

“Mano is a Devil King-like.”

Eh? That’s wrong.

Correct one should be “Similar to devil”.

What kind of thing is “like a”?

That being the case, this was such an absurd way of self-introduction.

It’s like when someone who wore a police uniform says, “ I’m a police-like. ”. 100% suspicious speech, and so I felt suspicious.

“…ah! No, it’s wrong! A mistake!”

She suddenly stopped using that pretentious tone of her and began making “awawawa” kind of sound anxiously.

“Wait a minute, that one just now didn’t count! It’s Wu Nai the Devil King! The Devil King! Devil King yo!”

She waved her hands back and forth, while making corrections quickly.

What is this girl trying to do actually?

“Well… Can I ask you something..?”

I inquired the girl who was still waving her hands.

“Yes? What? What is it? I’m a Devil King what is it?”

“What kind of thing is ‘Devil King-like’? Doesn’t that mean very similar but not ‘Devil King?’”

“Wrong, wrong, I am really the ‘Devil-King’ yo? How could I say such a thing like ‘Devil-King Like’?”

She quickly looked away, avoiding eye contact.

This girl….really wants to wriggle out (Ignore) of the past completely.

“But you just said that very clearly before.”

“Er…what do you mean? I’m a Devil-King yo. Like the flower named “Kill (Massacre) .”.

“How could a flower justify you as the ‘Devil-king’ ?!”

Besides, there is no flower named “Kill (massacre)” !

“Because I am a devil, my hobby is killing with fragrances!”

The weirdness has doubled. But I’m too lazy and tired to retort.

“….in short, you are claiming to be the Devil-king....what for?”

“A good question…well..it’s….It’s to make the world mine!”

Even if you say that with a proud expression…

I don’t want to hear this kind of ‘Devil-King’ answer.

“So then…why are you acting as a Devil-King here?”

“Wha-whawhawat!? No, that’s not it! This is not acting!”

She started to panic and her expression changed back again.

“So….in order to escape the harsh reality of the world, you dressed as a devil to be one…?”

I want to destroy this disgusting world—that sort of feeling.

“No! I’m not that kind of an unfortunate person! I am a real ‘Devil King’! A real ‘Devil King’! At the sight of me 97 of 100 people out there will say that I’m a Devil King!”

“What did the other three people say?”

It would be better if she said 100 of 100 people.

Well, in short, this girl wants to prove her devil appearance is real?

“Well, that’s how it is. Now to continue after the greeting, er...”

Just as I thought , “Still more of it huh?” that’s when—

“…..what?”

She suddenly stopped moving.

“…..What else am I supposed to say?”

“How can I know that?!”

“Wa, wait a minute! I’ll think of something in a moment!”

“I think you should relax a bit more to make it easier to remember…”

“Un..well..? What is it again?”

“Is it something like, ‘’Please do something ‘dirty’ to me?’’ kind of thing?”

“Whawhawha!? I, I won’t say that! That… that kind of…”

The girl hurriedly took out her note again and began confirming it.

How should I say it, it’s really too easy to make this girl flustered and panicked.

I can’t help but think that she’s kind of cute.

No no, if these kind of strange dialogues continues, I will get a severe headache. If only it’s more of an H-game kind of dialogue, I’ll be much happier.

“….this one….no this one has nothing to do with relationships….um….”
“Ah this one! Even if I’m eliminated, there will be second and third Devil kin and more will appear--!”

“That one is for when the Devil King is overthrown….”

“….is it this one then…Who ate my pudding without permission!!”

“There are such lines too!?”

Besides, when would this kind of sentence be needed?!

Furthermore, if you don’t want your pudding to be eaten, just write your name!

“Oh, I know! No problem. Everything’s OK. Okay, I’m going to say it!”

The girl put away the piece of note and cleared her throat.

“Er…the brave one…brave one…brave… that’s it, what is your name?”

“Name? My name is Morii Souta.”

“The brave one Morii Souta….too long. Under these circumstances….only 4 letters, so can I shorten it?”

“Oh…That’s fine.”

“Sentai Hero!” { This is kind of a word play. And I suck at it . }

“What kind of nickname is that!!!”

“Wh ? What? What would it be then?”

“Hm…calling me Souta is good enough.”

“Well then…Souta the brave --- I am the highest rank devil in this world, making humans tremble in fear and awe, the Devil King Mano!”

“Oh, so you’re Mano.”

“…..er that….what kind of reaction is that? I’m the Devil king you know? The dark side you know? The so called bad guys in your point of view! Don’t you hate me now?”

This girl called Mano started pouting with a ‘mu mu mu’ kind of sound, looking unsatisfied.

Maybe she wanted me to play along with my role as the hero.

But I don’t have any intention to play along, why should I act that way?

“So then… can I go back now?”

“Going back….? The devil king is in front of you, but you calmly choose to run away? The reputation of the brave one is surely as low as the ground….! So then… to make this world mine, it’s only a matter of time!”

“So that’s it. Good bye—“

“Wa, wait a minute! If you are really going home, it would be troublesome for me! I still have things I want to say to you!”

Mano immediately tried to make me stay.

“But I want to go home immediately, and stand stark naked in front of my computer.”

“What are you going to do naked in front of your computer!? A, at least hear me first! Being a hero, you should at least care for the world right?”

What, it’s like those so called call-out to the heroes.

“Don’t you want to have an argumentation war with the devil king? This kind of ‘game’ play.”

“Yes yes, that’s right…huh? What kind of ‘Game’ ? Knowing you, it must not be good! Especially the way you say it at the end, it worries me.” { I think something’s wrong with this line. Checking it later.}

Mano released a sigh of relieve.

“So…in other words, you want me say hero-like lines?”

“That’s right, you truly are the brave one!”

“But to be abruptly called the hero, I feel so weird.”

“You ARE the brave one!”

“No, but…”

“You are the brave one! A hero IS a hero!”

Never thought she would be so unreasonable.

Now that’s she’s acting like this, it’s my turn to say something.

“…..Now that I think about it….The clothes are fine, but Mano, your acting skill is completely a no go.”

Up to this day I have conquered various H-games, good or bad, that’s why I’m very picky with lines or dialogues.

“Wh, what did you say!? Then, what should I do?”

Unexpectedly she reacted immediately.

“Okay first of all, take off your clothes one by one.”

“Whawhawha what!? Wh, Why must I take them off one by one!?”

“Oh! So you want to strip it all at once!”

“Why did you interpret it that way!? I won’t do that kind of thing! Definitely not!”

Her cheeks flushed red, Mano waved her hands angrily.

“So yeah…. Like this, it’s the so called ‘baiting’.”

“Yes, these are more like the Devil King lines!”

“I feel that those are completely different though….”

After Mano said that she made the ‘Look at me seriously’ Devil-king like expression, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

“So….Souta the hero! Do you hate this Devil King? “

“No, it’s not like I hate you, but it’s more like ‘suspicious’ ….”

“I will ask you one more time. Do you hate this Devil King….?”

“Huh? Of course not…”

“I will ask you one more time. You hate this Devil King, don’t you..?”

“H,huh? I told you I don’t ….”

“I will ask you one more time. Do you hate this Devil King….?”

“I hate you! The more I think about it, the more I hate you!”

In the end, I gave in. This kind of “NO” way out was what people hate.

She forced me to say it, and even more her expression of ‘Really do’ was very annoying.

“Is that so…You really hate this Devil King who’s going to destroy this world…..! Kekekeke!”

“How come the laughter is like that in the end!?”

“Huh? ‘Kekeke’ is weird? How about ‘ Uguehehe’ ? “

“This is getting indecent….” { Oh wow! Akiko?! Or was it me laughing?! }

“Is that so? Then what should it be like?”

“Well….I think ‘Mwahahaha’ is much better.”

“Mwahaha….Mwahahahaa! This one is good! So it’s like this!”

Mano made an ‘oooo’ expression, like she wholeheartedly agreed. This Devil King, she doesn’t even know the very basic of evil laughing?

She used my recommendation and turned to me.

“Souta the brave one….I commend you to finally arrive at this place...but with that level of power you wish to oppose me, Mano the Devil King….? Mwahahaha! Mwahahaha!”

“Now you use that ‘Mwahaha’ as you want huh….”

It seems that she is very happy to use this kind of laughter.

“You’re such a moron mwahaha! Like a weak child, I can use both of my hands to crush you easily mwahaha! But doing it like that won’t be fun at all mwahahaha!”

“Well… It seems that it has become a habit for you to end every sentence with that ‘mwahaha’ huh..”

It seems that she didn’t hear me.

“Okay…this time I will let you off….Souta the hero! Become stronger, and one day return to find me, the Devil King! I will be looking forward to it! Take care of your feeble life! Mwahahahaha! “

After she finished laughing, Mano the Devil KIng made that ‘There you go!’ expression proudly.

“O…Okay…”

“……….”

“……….”

“……….”

“……….”

For unknown reason, she just stood there and smiling.

Now then what to do.

For a moment, both of us just looked at each other trying to see the other’s reaction…..

“…….well…..that’s it….”

Said Mano with a somehow troubled expression. Her voice became docile.

“What do you mean ‘That’s it ?”

“Um, I mean, don’t you think it’s time to leave?”

“Oh? I can go now?”

“Oh, okay, let me say it once again. Take care of your feeble life….”

“No! You don’t need to repeat it anymore! I understand! I completely understand!”

Because I felt like the weird atmosphere would return, I hastily stopped her.

“Is that right? I was hoping that you would understand it immediately though. Or kicking you out forcibly is better? Though I considered that option to be the last on my list…”

Mano began to speak to herself, trying to get hold of the problem.

“Er…I’ll go back then.”

“Ah, wait a minute! Don’t go!”

“But you just told me to go back!”

“Since it’s a rare opportunity, I’d like you to tell me which part’s good and which part’s no good.”

And then Mano, with a very cute voice asked me, “Please”.

Surely, surely something good will happen!

Since she had gone so far as to say please, I can’t say “everything is a no go.” It looks like it’s better to give her some constructive answer.

“That….That is if your voice can be a bit more evil for Devil King would be better. After all, your voice is way too cute for it.”

“Ah! Tha, that, saying my voice is cute…! This kind of thing, to be told directly, it makes me feel a bit embarrassed….awawawa!”

Mano then made that kind of ‘Really, don’t what to do with you’ kind of shy face.

Truth is…. It’s not a praise or compliment; it’s just that you don’t sound like the Devil King at all.

“Also, summoning that kind of tentacle monster, and ordering it to wrap around your body, and using its tentacles for that ‘no go place!’--- I think it would be much better.”

“Whawhawhat!? Why would the Devil King be treated that way! It’s way too strange!”

The shy Mano started to get angry.

Since that was a story line from an H-game.

“Anyways that’s it, I’m going back now…”

“Ah, wait a minute! Don’t go!”

“Just when are you going to let me go back?”

“I accidentally forgot! Souta is not the hero yet!”

“At this point what the hell are you talking about!?”

I’m totally confused right now.

At that time, she took out some sort of cellphone, and with a ‘click’ sound took a picture of me.

“Eh..after taking the photo…send….”

“….why did you take a picture of me…?”

“With this now Souta can truly be the hero.”

“So after taking a photo of me with a phone, I’m alleged to be a hero!? There is some sort of registering system!?”

“No problem, the camera is high resolution.”

“That’s totally unrelated!”

Then again….

If I were to ignore the method of me becoming a hero, why did the devil have to come and register me?

“Now then the registration is all done; try hard to defeat the devils.”

“Huh? Defeat the devils?”

“Um! I don’t know when it will happen, so take care.”

“Eh? A hero?”

“Yup! Then, good bye….! Until we meet again mwahahaha….!”

“O….o…”

I was wondering what heck just happened, while walking out from the classroom.

In the end, what does that girl want to do?

Did she just want me to play the hero, as practice for her Devil King act in drama?

Or just some sort of a game in the real world to deepen a relationship like a girl falling in love..?

Well even if she’s cute, in all other aspects the girls just spells out troublesome.

Ah, that’s right. I can trick to get her more into the H-game story line. Like example, telling her to expose her underwear to make her Devil King persona better.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/Pf2aohp.jpg[/img]
I was thinking that sort of thought while going home.

However…..

At that time I was yet to realize the most important thing. I completely forgot to bring back my H-game!!!

[img]http://i.imgur.com/xh30gqT.jpg[/img]

{A ROUGH translation from the image above. I’m dead tired so expect mistranslations.}

It’s time to ask the Devil King’s Note corner (1)

Starring the lines from the Devil King and the hero (or sort of!)

When the Hero reveals “I don’t like Summer or blistering hot weather”

Mano : Let me use the infernal hell fire to burn you!

“It’s noon already! When are you going to wake up!” sort of speech was said by the Hero’s like a mother during holiday.

Mano : Who is that person…..to be so cheeky…and dare to disturb my sleep…

When the Hero began to take off his pants.

Mano : Oh? Let me take a look to check {try to guess what she says :D }

When finally the Hero’s pants was taken off already

Mano : Hm…Only at this level huh…. {OUCH!}

Souta : ‘The hero taking his pants of’ This hero is so weird!!!

Demon: /* Chapter 1 - Not Quite Like the Devil */

==Chapter 1 - Not Quite Like the Devil==

The empty classroom after school was an alluring empty place.

It’s very common for things like “ I love you….Kiss me,” kind of confessions, or like stealing the girls’ gym clothes. But then again, these were all just my imagination.

However, right now in front of my eyes was a girl in strange clothing.

It was all black, making her look like a villain or some sort, but with high exposure; the exposed belly looked very soft, and a black cape topped it off for some unknown reason.

She seemed to be the same age as me, it made me think that she was one of the students of this school. But why was she wearing these kinds of clothes, not a school uniform?

In addition, it was not only her clothes that were weird.

“….Err…Should I introduce myself?”

She then began to look at a piece of note, and started mumbling unclear things, adding to the strangeness of her clothing.

“…Uh…let me tear you apart to pieces…ah…no…wrong one…”

Hey hey! Did she just not say something very terrifying? This is very suspicious!

No, maybe me peeking at a girl inside a classroom is even more suspicious.

But wait a minute… This is quite justified!

Let’s look back for a bit. After the school was over, when it was nearly evening, I rushed back to the classroom.

It’s all because I accidentally left my H-game in the classroom.

How could I ever forget the masterpiece of my collection of H-games, the “ Flanders Childhood. “

But then again, bringing an H-game to the school was a problem on its own.

Anyways, I ran back to the classroom in panic and arrived in front of it.

After calming my ragged breath, I found something.

I could hear a girl’s voice somewhere nearby, probably from the classroom next door.

It seemed like she was talking to no one but herself, doing a monologue.

Maybe she was using the table’s corner to do exciting things.

Really hoping that this would unfold an H-Game scene, I wanted to sneak a peek.

….No, thinking about it carefully, there was no justification in it!

Unfortunately, my expectation was crushed.

It was only a girl with strange clothing whispering something weird, and I was left speechless.

To say it clearly, wearing these kinds of clothes was so eye-catching.

But I think there was something else more eye catching than her clothes.

And that was because she’s so beautiful.

Her long and smooth long black hair, the perfect cute face of her, her bright and clear eyes, slender limbs, all the material needed to be a beautiful girl indeed were there.

She was such a beautiful girl that it would not be strange to have a doll modeled after her. Even selling her underwear as separate merchandise would not be strange.

Who’s she anyways?

“Er….Devil King Wu Nai… um, well….”

It seemed that I heard the word ‘Devil King’ or something.

Well, those clothes she wore looked like what the devils would.

This school’s rules did not state ‘Go to school in a cosplay and act properly ‘, these kind of rules were like those Comiket<ref>Comiket: in short , Japan’s annual doujinshi sales.</ref> rules.

So then…. Is she a member of the drama club? Maybe she’s practicing the scene when the devil king made an appearance. But to even wear these kinds of clothes in practice, such devotion!

It would be better to leave her practicing, and leave quietly.

“…and then laughter….uehehehehe!”

“What kind of devil laughs like that? Surely not like ‘Uehehehehe’ ?! “

“Who, who’s there!!!”

Oh no! I accidentally retorted her weird laughter!

“…Well…Um…Sorry…I just want to know what you were doing…”

To get rid of this weird atmosphere, I opened the door, and hesitantly walked in.

I thought she would be angry at me peeping her, but she was just quietly staring at me with a calm face.

….How come?

If a girl as cute as this was staring at you, no matter what, it would make you feel a bit restless.

No no no no, please calm down, me. Up to this day, I have been receiving stares from many girls have I not? There is no special meaning behind it.

Though it’s common in H-games to have those….

“….Ah! Right !”

The girl seemed to remember something, and smiled.

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the girl turned her back on me.

And then she slowly turned back again…..

“You have come at the right time, O brave one! “

Declared the girl with a stiff and rigid tone.

Brave one?

What is this the ‘brave one’?

Did that performance before have this kind of thing?

“I have been waiting for this moment to come.”

She continued her speech, ignoring me who froze in place.

What is this about? The continuation of that drama practice?

No, wait…

These kinds of lines, it felt like it came out from anime or manga. This girl also called herself the ‘devil king’ before.

“Wu Nai….”

If it’s true, the next line would be….

“Mano is a Devil King-like.”

Eh? That’s wrong.

Correct one should be “Similar to devil”.

What kind of thing is “like a”?

That being the case, this was such an absurd way of self-introduction.

It’s like when someone who wore a police uniform says, “ I’m a police-like. ”. 100% suspicious speech, and so I felt suspicious.

“…ah! No, it’s wrong! A mistake!”

She suddenly stopped using that pretentious tone of her and began making “awawawa” kind of sound anxiously.

“Wait a minute, that one just now didn’t count! It’s Wu Nai the Devil King! The Devil King! Devil King yo!”

She waved her hands back and forth, while making corrections quickly.

What is this girl trying to do actually?

“Well… Can I ask you something..?”

I inquired the girl who was still waving her hands.

“Yes? What? What is it? I’m a Devil King what is it?”

“What kind of thing is ‘Devil King-like’? Doesn’t that mean very similar but not ‘Devil King?’”

“Wrong, wrong, I am really the ‘Devil-King’ yo? How could I say such a thing like ‘Devil-King Like’?”

She quickly looked away, avoiding eye contact.

This girl….really wants to wriggle out (Ignore) of the past completely.

“But you just said that very clearly before.”

“Er…what do you mean? I’m a Devil-King yo. Like the flower named “Kill (Massacre) .”.

“How could a flower justify you as the ‘Devil-king’ ?!”

Besides, there is no flower named “Kill (massacre)” !

“Because I am a devil, my hobby is killing with fragrances!”

The weirdness has doubled. But I’m too lazy and tired to retort.

“….in short, you are claiming to be the Devil-king....what for?”

“A good question…well..it’s….It’s to make the world mine!”

Even if you say that with a proud expression…

I don’t want to hear this kind of ‘Devil-King’ answer.

“So then…why are you acting as a Devil-King here?”

“Wha-whawhawat!? No, that’s not it! This is not acting!”

She started to panic and her expression changed back again.

“So….in order to escape the harsh reality of the world, you dressed as a devil to be one…?”

I want to destroy this disgusting world—that sort of feeling.

“No! I’m not that kind of an unfortunate person! I am a real ‘Devil King’! A real ‘Devil King’! At the sight of me 97 of 100 people out there will say that I’m a Devil King!”

“What did the other three people say?”

It would be better if she said 100 of 100 people.

Well, in short, this girl wants to prove her devil appearance is real?

“Well, that’s how it is. Now to continue after the greeting, er...”

Just as I thought , “Still more of it huh?” that’s when—

“…..what?”

She suddenly stopped moving.

“…..What else am I supposed to say?”

“How can I know that?!”

“Wa, wait a minute! I’ll think of something in a moment!”

“I think you should relax a bit more to make it easier to remember…”

“Un..well..? What is it again?”

“Is it something like, ‘’Please do something ‘dirty’ to me?’’ kind of thing?”

“Whawhawha!? I, I won’t say that! That… that kind of…”

The girl hurriedly took out her note again and began confirming it.

How should I say it, it’s really too easy to make this girl flustered and panicked.

I can’t help but think that she’s kind of cute.

No no, if these kind of strange dialogues continues, I will get a severe headache. If only it’s more of an H-game kind of dialogue, I’ll be much happier.

“….this one….no this one has nothing to do with relationships….um….”
“Ah this one! Even if I’m eliminated, there will be second and third Devil kin and more will appear--!”

“That one is for when the Devil King is overthrown….”

“….is it this one then…Who ate my pudding without permission!!”

“There are such lines too!?”

Besides, when would this kind of sentence be needed?!

Furthermore, if you don’t want your pudding to be eaten, just write your name!

“Oh, I know! No problem. Everything’s OK. Okay, I’m going to say it!”

The girl put away the piece of note and cleared her throat.

“Er…the brave one…brave one…brave… that’s it, what is your name?”

“Name? My name is Morii Souta.”

“The brave one Morii Souta….too long. Under these circumstances….only 4 letters, so can I shorten it?”

“Oh…That’s fine.”

“Sentai Hero!” { This is kind of a word play. And I suck at it . }

“What kind of nickname is that!!!”

“Wh ? What? What would it be then?”

“Hm…calling me Souta is good enough.”

“Well then…Souta the brave --- I am the highest rank devil in this world, making humans tremble in fear and awe, the Devil King Mano!”

“Oh, so you’re Mano.”

“…..er that….what kind of reaction is that? I’m the Devil king you know? The dark side you know? The so called bad guys in your point of view! Don’t you hate me now?”

This girl called Mano started pouting with a ‘mu mu mu’ kind of sound, looking unsatisfied.

Maybe she wanted me to play along with my role as the hero.

But I don’t have any intention to play along, why should I act that way?

“So then… can I go back now?”

“Going back….? The devil king is in front of you, but you calmly choose to run away? The reputation of the brave one is surely as low as the ground….! So then… to make this world mine, it’s only a matter of time!”

“So that’s it. Good bye—“

“Wa, wait a minute! If you are really going home, it would be troublesome for me! I still have things I want to say to you!”

Mano immediately tried to make me stay.

“But I want to go home immediately, and stand stark naked in front of my computer.”

“What are you going to do naked in front of your computer!? A, at least hear me first! Being a hero, you should at least care for the world right?”

What, it’s like those so called call-out to the heroes.

“Don’t you want to have an argumentation war with the devil king? This kind of ‘game’ play.”

“Yes yes, that’s right…huh? What kind of ‘Game’ ? Knowing you, it must not be good! Especially the way you say it at the end, it worries me.” { I think something’s wrong with this line. Checking it later.}

Mano released a sigh of relieve.

“So…in other words, you want me say hero-like lines?”

“That’s right, you truly are the brave one!”

“But to be abruptly called the hero, I feel so weird.”

“You ARE the brave one!”

“No, but…”

“You are the brave one! A hero IS a hero!”

Never thought she would be so unreasonable.

Now that’s she’s acting like this, it’s my turn to say something.

“…..Now that I think about it….The clothes are fine, but Mano, your acting skill is completely a no go.”

Up to this day I have conquered various H-games, good or bad, that’s why I’m very picky with lines or dialogues.

“Wh, what did you say!? Then, what should I do?”

Unexpectedly she reacted immediately.

“Okay first of all, take off your clothes one by one.”

“Whawhawha what!? Wh, Why must I take them off one by one!?”

“Oh! So you want to strip it all at once!”

“Why did you interpret it that way!? I won’t do that kind of thing! Definitely not!”

Her cheeks flushed red, Mano waved her hands angrily.

“So yeah…. Like this, it’s the so called ‘baiting’.”

“Yes, these are more like the Devil King lines!”

“I feel that those are completely different though….”

After Mano said that she made the ‘Look at me seriously’ Devil-king like expression, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

“So….Souta the hero! Do you hate this Devil King? “

“No, it’s not like I hate you, but it’s more like ‘suspicious’ ….”

“I will ask you one more time. Do you hate this Devil King….?”

“Huh? Of course not…”

“I will ask you one more time. You hate this Devil King, don’t you..?”

“H,huh? I told you I don’t ….”

“I will ask you one more time. Do you hate this Devil King….?”

“I hate you! The more I think about it, the more I hate you!”

In the end, I gave in. This kind of “NO” way out was what people hate.

She forced me to say it, and even more her expression of ‘Really do’ was very annoying.

“Is that so…You really hate this Devil King who’s going to destroy this world…..! Kekekeke!”

“How come the laughter is like that in the end!?”

“Huh? ‘Kekeke’ is weird? How about ‘ Uguehehe’ ? “

“This is getting indecent….” { Oh wow! Akiko?! Or was it me laughing?! }

“Is that so? Then what should it be like?”

“Well….I think ‘Mwahahaha’ is much better.”

“Mwahaha….Mwahahahaa! This one is good! So it’s like this!”

Mano made an ‘oooo’ expression, like she wholeheartedly agreed. This Devil King, she doesn’t even know the very basic of evil laughing?

She used my recommendation and turned to me.

“Souta the brave one….I commend you to finally arrive at this place...but with that level of power you wish to oppose me, Mano the Devil King….? Mwahahaha! Mwahahaha!”

“Now you use that ‘Mwahaha’ as you want huh….”

It seems that she is very happy to use this kind of laughter.

“You’re such a moron mwahaha! Like a weak child, I can use both of my hands to crush you easily mwahaha! But doing it like that won’t be fun at all mwahahaha!”

“Well… It seems that it has become a habit for you to end every sentence with that ‘mwahaha’ huh..”

It seems that she didn’t hear me.

“Okay…this time I will let you off….Souta the hero! Become stronger, and one day return to find me, the Devil King! I will be looking forward to it! Take care of your feeble life! Mwahahahaha! “

After she finished laughing, Mano the Devil KIng made that ‘There you go!’ expression proudly.

“O…Okay…”

“……….”

“……….”

“……….”

“……….”

For unknown reason, she just stood there and smiling.

Now then what to do.

For a moment, both of us just looked at each other trying to see the other’s reaction…..

“…….well…..that’s it….”

Said Mano with a somehow troubled expression. Her voice became docile.

“What do you mean ‘That’s it ?”

“Um, I mean, don’t you think it’s time to leave?”

“Oh? I can go now?”

“Oh, okay, let me say it once again. Take care of your feeble life….”

“No! You don’t need to repeat it anymore! I understand! I completely understand!”

Because I felt like the weird atmosphere would return, I hastily stopped her.

“Is that right? I was hoping that you would understand it immediately though. Or kicking you out forcibly is better? Though I considered that option to be the last on my list…”

Mano began to speak to herself, trying to get hold of the problem.

“Er…I’ll go back then.”

“Ah, wait a minute! Don’t go!”

“But you just told me to go back!”

“Since it’s a rare opportunity, I’d like you to tell me which part’s good and which part’s no good.”

And then Mano, with a very cute voice asked me, “Please”.

Surely, surely something good will happen!

Since she had gone so far as to say please, I can’t say “everything is a no go.” It looks like it’s better to give her some constructive answer.

“That….That is if your voice can be a bit more evil for Devil King would be better. After all, your voice is way too cute for it.”

“Ah! Tha, that, saying my voice is cute…! This kind of thing, to be told directly, it makes me feel a bit embarrassed….awawawa!”

Mano then made that kind of ‘Really, don’t what to do with you’ kind of shy face.

Truth is…. It’s not a praise or compliment; it’s just that you don’t sound like the Devil King at all.

“Also, summoning that kind of tentacle monster, and ordering it to wrap around your body, and using its tentacles for that ‘no go place!’--- I think it would be much better.”

“Whawhawhat!? Why would the Devil King be treated that way! It’s way too strange!”

The shy Mano started to get angry.

Since that was a story line from an H-game.

“Anyways that’s it, I’m going back now…”

“Ah, wait a minute! Don’t go!”

“Just when are you going to let me go back?”

“I accidentally forgot! Souta is not the hero yet!”

“At this point what the hell are you talking about!?”

I’m totally confused right now.

At that time, she took out some sort of cellphone, and with a ‘click’ sound took a picture of me.

“Eh..after taking the photo…send….”

“….why did you take a picture of me…?”

“With this now Souta can truly be the hero.”

“So after taking a photo of me with a phone, I’m alleged to be a hero!? There is some sort of registering system!?”

“No problem, the camera is high resolution.”

“That’s totally unrelated!”

Then again….

If I were to ignore the method of me becoming a hero, why did the devil have to come and register me?

“Now then the registration is all done; try hard to defeat the devils.”

“Huh? Defeat the devils?”

“Um! I don’t know when it will happen, so take care.”

“Eh? A hero?”

“Yup! Then, good bye….! Until we meet again mwahahaha….!”

“O….o…”

I was wondering what heck just happened, while walking out from the classroom.

In the end, what does that girl want to do?

Did she just want me to play the hero, as practice for her Devil King act in drama?

Or just some sort of a game in the real world to deepen a relationship like a girl falling in love..?

Well even if she’s cute, in all other aspects the girls just spells out troublesome.

Ah, that’s right. I can trick to get her more into the H-game story line. Like example, telling her to expose her underwear to make her Devil King persona better.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/Pf2aohp.jpg[/img]
I was thinking that sort of thought while going home.

However…..

At that time I was yet to realize the most important thing. I completely forgot to bring back my H-game!!!

[img]http://i.imgur.com/xh30gqT.jpg[/img]

{A ROUGH translation from the image above. I’m dead tired so expect mistranslations.}

It’s time to ask the Devil King’s Note corner (1)

Starring the lines from the Devil King and the hero (or sort of!)

When the Hero reveals “I don’t like Summer or blistering hot weather”

Mano : Let me use the infernal hell fire to burn you!

“It’s noon already! When are you going to wake up!” sort of speech was said by the Hero’s like a mother during holiday.

Mano : Who is that person…..to be so cheeky…and dare to disturb my sleep…

When the Hero began to take off his pants.

Mano : Oh? Let me take a look to check {try to guess what she says :D }

When finally the Hero’s pants was taken off already

Mano : Hm…Only at this level huh…. {OUCH!}

Souta : ‘The hero taking his pants of’ This hero is so weird!!!
