Shippai Kinshi:Volume1 Chapter2

“Nope. Rejected. No way. I——don’t approve of this! Never never! I won’t acknowledge this pervert! Say, he isn’t a human to begin with! A demon in disguise. We have been seen. Ahh, so terrifying!”

In a certain clubroom on Monday of the second week.

Since my sister has already approved of my admittance, I should be able to enter right?

Thereupon, Karin expressed her extreme refusal. This caused her glossy black hair to stand on ends from the shaking.

“But, Minato.”

“I-I am not Minato, I am Shinryuu no Miya.”

“......Ha…...Huh?”

“Minato isn’t cool so I don’t like it. Can you try to read the mood a bit.”

“About, that……”

Regardless of whether it is Minato or Shinryuu no Miya, but to accompany her in her merrymaking is just too much of a humiliation.

“In that case, Karin.”

“P-please don’t casually call me by my name! It would sully me!”

“M-me, sully you!? But hasn’t Chris and Hijiri acquiesced to my application of the club already?”

“G-gnyuu……!”

“You were so polite towards Chris yesterday, is it ok to act contrarily like this?”

“Uuuuuu……”

Squinting her eyes, Karin casted her sight over to Chris who is behind me.

It is unbeknownst to me to why when Karin makes eye contact with Chris, her manner of speech would turn to that of a forceful one.

“No problem! My strength is only second to God. So as to say, if God had gone astray from the righteous path, then it is my duty to amend it.”

“......Hey, Chris. What’s your take on this?”

“How dare you call President Chris by her name! This is profanity!”

“Right……. This club have few members to begin with, it’s not good to have a quarrel.”

“It’s as you say, President Chris. Quickly dismiss this guy at once. Throw him out of the window and send him back to the underworld.”

Karin waved both of her hands about while saying threatening words.

“Hey. This is the third floor. I would be send to afterlife for real.”

“Huhu. Aren’t you from hell? How about I use my beloved machine [Black Lightning Spear] to beat you to a pulp?”

A sinister smile materialized on Karin’s face.

“......What the heck, is a Black Lightning Spear?”

“It’s my enhanced armament. By equipping it my agility will increase by five folds, this also applies to attack, defense, and vitality. In my previous incarnation I had a ancient dragon under my servitude, even after my death it still remains devoted to me, altering its form and accompanies me to this present world. The purpose of the transfiguration is to allow me to be the only person in control.”

Uhuh, saying so, she puffed out that flat chest of hers.

Is this girl an idiot? Didn’t she completely disregard what President Chris said earlier.

“Chris. What should I do?”

On Chris’ face a distressed look was being displayed, yet she suddenly laughed as if having thought of something amusing.

“Right, let use this as an application test.”

“......Application test?”

“Yes. Exactly. The conditions are simple. Have Karin consented to your entry. That’s all.”

“......So it is fine as long as I make Karin say [You must enter our club]?”

“Just having Karin say [It’s ok to enter] is fine. Enticing her into saying so is fine, however violence is prohibited.”

Kukuku, the sound of laughter reverberated throughout the whole clubroom.

“How could I lose to this kind of man. Struggle all you can. Come, I will make you give up! I will have you savored the taste of despair!” Bang Bang! Finishing her statement, Karin thrusted out her hands towards me and adopted an intimidating posture.

Yet not knowing why, no, phrasing it as “as expected” would be more apt, it didn’t feel scary in the slightest.

Concurrently as I surprisingly looked at her, Karin complacently curled her lips.

“Huhu! Scared to even speak a word. I see. That’s right, this is the way it should be. For I am the reincarnation of an Archmage. On the contrary you are just a mere hell spawn.”

“No no. That’s impossible. The setting is too unrealistic.”

“What a fool you are. You can’t acknowledge what you have no way of comprehending. Mindless stupid inferior being. In that case, have a taste of my mettle! This one-hit sure kill move of mine——Super Hegemonic Blaze.”

“Eh……?”

What’s with that crazy sense of naming. …...How should I react to this?

The self-proclaimed Archmage Karin drew out a spherical shaped area with her two hands, making either “Uuuuuu” or “Ku, my strength is diminishing.” these kinds of sound.

“Hijiri, what in the world is she playing……?”

I inquired the expressionless Hijiri who was reading a book at the moment.

Hijiri shifted her uptight face towards me, and spoke a single sentence.

“......It’s always like this.”

“A-Always engaged in this farce of a play!? This girl!”

“......Correct.” Hijiri lightly nodded.

Completely disregarding my conversation with Hijiri, Karin continued to act out her embarrassing conduct. ………...What a terrifying kid.

“Poh——!”

Karin extended her hands out, this movement of hers caused people to think that something is going to fly out of her palm.

I, being at a loss for word, could only stood there motionless. However, Karin also didn’t utter a single word.

“….........….........”

“….........….........”

“P-Please say something. Shimizu sempai.”

“What are you trying to get at?”

“You should know this without the need for me to tell you.”

“Ah, …...it’s best you drop that childish play. We are all high school students now.”

“Wrong! Wrong!”

“Won’t your parents be sad? Do you want them to see your current state?”

“All the more wrong!? Uwa! Uwa! Uwaaah!”

“So what’s that?”

“Really! Your comprehension is really low!”

“Uwah! I——am——saying——! It’s your turn, Shimizu sempai!”

“Huh?”

“It’s currently your turn, Shimizu sempai! I have already demonstrated my Super Hegemonic Blaze to you. As such Shimizu sempai needs to respond to my attack.”

“I think you are a total idiot.”

“That’s——not——the——case——! My point is, Shimizu sempai needs to defend against the attack, and defeat me. Were you able to triumph over me, then I will approve of your application.”

“What do you mean?”

“Shimizu sempai needs to oppose my attack; in other words, you need to use your finishing move.”

“O-Oi……. So as to say, I need to say some kind of skill’s name, and repel it……? What kind of showdown is this. Isn’t it too stupid? Right, Hijiri?”

I questioned Hijiri. But, Hijiri with her eyes seemingly closed replied back to me with “Just give up.”.

“Come on, please get this start already. Shimizu sempai.”

“Eh……. Then, I choose to dodge.”

“Impossible.”

“Why?”

“Super Hegemonic Blaze is a homing-type magic. With a single flick of this move of mine, Archmage Karis, a whole continent will be obliterated in an instant.”

“That powerful and you still need a homing function!? That’s basically a weapon of mass destruction.”

“In the past. Karis——had enter a bitter struggle to protect her homeland from the demon invasion. However, she came out victorious in the final moment. Super Hegemonic Blaze. Compared to Hegemonic Blaze, the destructive power is increased by a factor of 1.5, moreover the homing ability is introduced here.”

“I don’t need this sort of information! How can I take it seriously to begin with. I don’t want to even remember it!”

“In addition, it can distinguish friends from foes, it will only inflict damage on the enemy. Such a handy non-friendly fire area of effect weapon. Like Cyflash. Or maybe Psycho Blaster.

“......W-what is Cyflash, and also Psycho Blaster?”

“Granted that you don’t know of it. In short, it’s Shimizu sempai’s loss. Bang. Demon Shimizu has perished. Well, the outcome has been decided. It’s my win.”

“......Totally unacceptable. Besides, your skill is too overpowered. Game characters with those kind of moves are too bland. The can just kill off an enemy in one hit.”

Karin, using her beautiful shaped nose, snorted.

“Game and reality is different. Corpse musn’t talk. No, you should be cinder already.”

“You go as far to speak about reality………...? You……”

“Well. If you ever think of challenging me again, I will take you on anytime. But, you only get one chance per day.”

“Why so?”

“If the loser challenge more than once on the same day, wouldn’t that be unrealistic?”

“You dare talk about reality again!? Please go look up the definition in the dictionary for me right now.”

“All in all. I have played this battle with my friend everyday. Don’t you think you stand a chance against me.”

What is with this nonsensical battle anyways……! Is her friend the same as her, making people feel too unbearable to watch?

Perhaps the person has no choice but to tag along. If it’s the latter then this is just too pitiful.

Chris laughingly said “Good bye then” as she waved her hand at me.

In short, in order to be in the same club as Hijiri, apparently I need to win this war.

Unknowingly, I felt heavy in my mind.

●▲

On the next day which is Tuesday, I was on my way to school. Today, I was all alone since Hijiri had gone off earlier.

If possible, I would like to walk to school together everyday, but this is just too extravagant a demand.

“Hey, Shimizu. What’s up with you today, you are frowning and all. What happened?”

Not knowing when, my friend Katou, was already besides me and calling out to me.

“Nope, it’s not that big of a deal.”

“Is it? Ah. It’s about woman right? So you are desperate due to the lack of women in your life? I understand I understand. In fact I am also in the same boat as you, since the first day of school, I have been going around confessing, but I always fail.”

I understand I understand, this statement of Katou exposed all the scandals he had committed. But somehow, I can kinda relate myself to this.” “Certainly, Katou, you didn’t do it right……?”

“If you somehow fire randomly it would hit, right?”

“You know. Shimizu. Listen to me. I had once thought like that. Therefore, I had already done it.”

“Done what?”
