Maou na Ore to Fushihime no Yubiwa:Volume 1 Epilogue
Epilogue - After this and that
The duty of an student is not battling a mysterious organization. Of course, studies come first.
After that. Two days have passed since that incident.
As Seiran Academy started its lessons once again, little by little we retrieved our original lifestyle. I can only say this now, but it's not bad to occasionally receive boring lessons.
Is this enjoying a peaceful lifestyle? After being put through such a dramatic experience, I feel it made me start to understand what the really important things are.
Now, the school building was half destroyed when Zonmi and Kyouko ran amok, but surprisingly they wasn't any retaliation for it after that.
Probably the IMA — or rather Luka-san, arranged something in secret.
If it's like that, it seems I have something to object to about the quality of Seiran Academy regarding its pupils.
Seems like there's no one who would demand the expulsion of two pretty girls. Since if there was someone, the ratio of male students would end up being excessive.
After school.
I visited the office of the International Monster Association.
"Sorry I called you all of a sudden. I wanted to talk to you tête-à-tête asap."
"No problem. I also wanted to talk to you."
"Oh, my. Could this be mutual love?"
"Won't you soon start talking seriously!?"
"Eh... But my heart isn't ready yet..."
Today marks the Nth time that Luka-san makes one of her incomprehensible jokes.
As usual, this person is being elusive and aloof.
"Let's put the jokes away. Even so, it's amazing~, you alone caught alone one of those 'Black Tamer''s guys~"
"That was not my power, but the power of those three."
"Fufu~n."
Am I over-thinking it? It seemed like, for a moment, Luka-san's expression was clouded by a tinge of sorrow.
"Say, would you believe me if I told you something?"
"... What is it?"
"Actually, that those three monsters gathered around you~, it wasn't an accident~ it was all planned by me~. This capable Lika, noticing your talent beforehand, felt that it was a waste that those superior monsters were left over, so she had the sudden impulse of calling them together all at once~."
"... Is that true?"
"Of course it's a lie. LI-E."
"..."
I was deceived.
The moment I go along with her, I end up taking it as true.
"Well, they are ready, the documents."
"Thank you very much."
What Luka-san handed me were the documents needed to become an official monster tamer — I had contacted her beforehand and asked her to get them ready.
This... is what draws the line.
From now on, I'll hold onto those three girls... That's the embodiment of my resolution.
"At any rate, you've grown; I don't recognize you, Chiharu-kun."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah. Frankly, when I fist met you I thought you were but a good-for-nothing. Because... You know? The you that time was still hesitant about becoming a tamer."
"Ha, ha... It was like that."
"In fact, what has gotten into you? To willingly become a tamer~"
"It's easy. I want to protect and bring happiness to those girls I met."
"Fu, fu, is it Zonmi-chan? Is it Kyouko-chan? Or Iris-chan?"
"... Everyone. Zonmi, and Kyouko and Iris, I want all of the people involved in this incident to become happy... And, while I'm at it, Manami too."
Wavering for a moment on saying it, I finally added the existence of my little sister.
I was unwilling, but... If it weren't for her, right now maybe I'd still be trapped at Iris's den.
"Oh! Here comes the harem proclamation. You did it! Undress☆useless main character!"
"What kind of main character am I!?"
Sometimes it was difficult to tell the true meaning behind Luka-san's words.
"Hey, hey, By-the-way~, won't you include my name there~?"
"You are able to defend yourself by yourself!"
"Buu, buu. That's discrimination..."
I don't know if she was acting or what, but Luka-san looked like she was pouting.
Practical question, a little something I learned with my experience as a tamer.
This person... For reaaal!
That is, she's called first in the list to become the next Maou.
I don't know if she hides some sort of magic power... If I continue as a tamer, will the day come that I'll surpass her?
Once I came back, when I opened my home's door,
*PAN! PAN! PAN!*
All of a sudden, resounded a loud noise of ctackers.
"Onii-chan♪ Congratulations on getting a job~♪"
"Uo!?"
In no time, my sister jumped at my breast.
"... Hey, your breasts are touching me... Move aside."
"They aren't touching you, I'm pressing them."
I've somehow or other heard a line taken from a manga.
"... You guys, are you really blodd-related siblings? In spite of that, isn't this somehow indecent?"
"No problem, since the indecent one is only Manami! rather, whoa?..."
The me who has returned home was greeted by an unexpectedly unveliable scene.
... Perhaps, maybe this is the first time I met all of them at the same time.
The ones that greeted me cracker in hand were the ones at the center of this series of incidets, the monster girls. Zonmi, Kyouko and Iris.
As the three rivals thus gave signs of spending their days peacefully, that would be a touching scene worthy of seeing...
The one who spoiled everything was that fool of my sister.
"I-luv-u Hold!"
"Hey! Stop clinging to me by entwining you legs around my body!"
"...Ng—" "...Ng—"
"Don't look! You guys... Don't look at me with those eyes!"
Iris and Zonmi, to us sibling that were so unashamedly sticky, sent scornful gazes.
"Humph. As expected, humans are foolish beings. To think I had started to get a better opinion of them."
"... How unusual, agreeing with red dragon. Getting seduced by women's bodies, becoming the Maou is but a pipe dream."
"..."
My value seems to have crashed to the level of Greece's national debt.
"... Fu, fu. I won't hand over my onii-chan to some newcomers."
My sister clungfirmly to my body like a koala climbing a tree and let out an evil smile that could only mean 'Just like I planned...!'.
Could this girl possibly... Have done this on purpose?...
"... Well, why are all of you in my house?"
Somehow freeing myself from my sister's restriction, I finally could speak out that doubt.
As Kyouko heard it she wonderfully stuck out her chest,
"This is Haru's becoming a monster tamer commemoration & ghoul's contract celebration"
"... Ah—"
I see, in other words, this is a surprise party?
And, there's still something that doesn't make sense.
"Then, who was the one who suggested it?"
"..." "..." "..."
From the way those three looked each other without even a word, I could naturally deduce the answer.
"... A-as for me I don't mind who was, but, you see, I think it would be unnatural not to since this is of course a custom of the Netherworld."
