Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Chapter 114.2 - Crusher Reina

「… That makes her almost invincible, doesn't it?」

「Yeah, her power is really amazing. It's to the point that I think she can clear this dungeon just by walking.」

No matter what kind of monster she met, ambush or traps, I can't imagine all of it would work against her three sacred beasts. And she was by no means slow as long as she rode on Engard's back.

In short, the bitch called Reina A Ayase got spoiled not only by our nerdy boys. She who got spoiled by the sacred beasts was the epitome of a human blessed by luck. Even after we got summoned to another world and were forced to clear this dungeon, it didn't change the fact that there's practically an endless amount of things that wouldn't just abandon her … Might be because Reina herself possessed some sort of 『Charm』 skill.

「But, maybe due to her spoiled nature she … can’t fight, and you can't rely on someone like her in the battle.」

「I see now, the person herself didn't want to approach the battlefield despite having such a powerful bodyguard.」

「Our fight will get easier even with just the help of one of her sacred beasts.」

I had expected this situation beforehand but it didn't mean that I wasn’t having a headache after hearing about it from Yamajun.

That bitch had the worst personality.

That bitch made Souma Sakura look like a splendid person since she could fight for herself with her bow and arrow. With the exception of Takanashi Kotori, I mean she realized that she herself was useless in battle.

And yet, despite having such tremendous power to finish the battle without even the need for the person herself to enter the battle, not even once did she contribute to the battle of survival. That Reina bitch was simply a baggage while I who had finally managed to gather enough combat potential to get rid of the small fries after numerous hardship and lucky encounter in the form of Rem the 1st and Arachne Rem …. was wasted in front of her power just because they're 「Scary」…

「An-Anyway, there's no problem for the time being. Yamada-kun and Co. were trying to look good in front of her, so there's no need for us to borrow her power for the time being. Moreover, Ayase-san should've started to help us now.」

I was more pissed off than I thought, huh.

I mean, Yamajun even tried to smoothen things up between me and the rest of the party with flustered voice but … Honestly, I didn't feel like getting along with that selfish bitch and the unpopular nerds who tried to woo her.

To Advance beyond this, the power of the Totem Pole Trio+Yamada-kun alone wasn't enough. In fact, they're almost certain to get annihilated if not for my sudden intrusion in the previous battle.

And even if they’d sacrificed themself in the battle―― I don't think that would’ve been enough to move that bitch’s heart.

Because that bitch didn't even come to help Higuchi when he was in peril.

Thinking back, what would’ve become of me if she’d suddenly stopped me, who had barely won against Higuchi, from dealing the finishing blow to Higuchi. Because that bitch only made her move after I killed Higuchi and about to step into the transfer circle.

In short, after Higuchi died, and I was aware of her presence, was the moment she made her move.

And now, I think I was starting to understand Reina's feelings at that time. My battle to the death against Higuchi was only at the level of quarrel for her. And the figure of me desperately trying to kill Higuchi invoked a sense of terror in that spoiled shitty bitch.

And then, seeing me, who came out as the winner, Reina who was so convinced that she was going to be silenced too for the sake of erasing any future anxiety decided to use that chance to escape. That could be why that bitch had finally managed to muster the bit of her courage to summon that sacred beast called Engard to escape from me.

Though that event led me to meet Tendou-kun and his gals' party and gain a friendship with Randou-san, Juri, and Mari, THAT was THAT, THIS was THIS.

「I understand, I'll make an exception this time due to her war potential …. So, any other problems aside from that?」

Although unwilling, I had no choice but to give in for the greater cause, or wait a minute, though it's true that I was forced to take a hundred steps back with this case if I excluded that bitch from war potential due to her spoiled personality, this party was quite a balanced five-man party with three vanguard, one rearguard, and a healer. Though their individual power couldn't be compared to a party with Mei-chan or Souma's party, their party should be able to deal with the Gomas army as long as their vocation went through level up.

「And then, a charming girl appeared In the midst of those guys. Rather, I think it was strange that nothing happened so far.」

「A~h.」

I forgot about that fact since I was completely blinded by my grudge towards Reina.

「Seriously? That circle crusher didn't cause any problem?」

「Well, I think she's been like that since a long time ago.」

Ahaha, for some reason, Yama-jun’s wry smile seemed to have lifted the heavy mood that was hovering around us.

Sure enough, the problem regarding love relationships had always existed in humankind since our ancestors. And that problem was known as circle-crusher in the modern era.

[TL: A problem that breaks friendship]

Circle crusher was referring to a phenomenon when a girl entered a group composing of male-only, disturbing the harmony of the group which would result in a battle royale amongst those friends to win the affection of the girl, one event after another would finally lead to a catastrophe resulting in the male of that said group to go as far as unwilling to see each other eyes again.

In short, this current circle wasn't club activities but it’s still the gathering of male youth. Though you might say that age had nothing to do with love, we're at the age where we're extremely sensitive when it came to the romance of others.

Now let's say that a girl suddenly intruded inside that circle of boys in the middle of their puberty, it was only natural for them to be more aware of the girl's existence. Even if that said girl was a fugly and unpopular girl, the boys would still be aware of her existence.

To say nothing if the said girl was … A transcendence beauty like that bitch Reina A Ayase.

「Now that Yamada-kun and Totem Pole Trio are going all out to get Reina attention, do you know how long it'll be till the situation reaches the critical point?」

「As of now, Yamada-kun is in the lead, and I think the other three are envying his current position.」

「That's … Are they following the pecking order from the strongest?」

「Yeah, that's the only point worth of evaluation in this dungeon.」

Yeah, I agreed with him. In short, the one with most merit had the honor of leading Adelheid's Knight Order.

I mean it's clear from the previous battle that Yamada-kun with his powerful defense was clearly far more powerful than the Totem Pole Trio. He might be able to defeat the trio at once by relying on his powerful defense.

「Unfortunately, no matter how much effort they put to win her attention, there's only Souma-kun in her eyes.」

「Ri~ght.」

In the end, it was those four who used their battle contribution to decide the value as a male amongst themselves. It's not like that bitch watched those four battle nor could she decide who was the strongest amongst the four.

「Ayase-san basically didn't even care about us. Yamada-kun, who doesn't realize that is doing everything to catch her attention which worsened the party's atmosphere.」

「Uhm, sorry to ask this but Yama-jun… Do you like Reina?」

「 I have a man I'm interested in. Whoops, not in gay sense.」

「I've been waiting for those words.」

If his reply was something along "Ayase-san is aiming for me", or "You're just over worrying about this matter, Momokawa-kun", or "I'll kill you (+Dark Smile)" I swore to myself to escape from this place as soon as possible.

「If I too fall for Ayase-san in this kind of situation, then this party is done for!」

The problem was the other four. No matter how bad their relationship turned out in the future, it wouldn't change the fact that Reina was the safest one even without the four’s protection thanks to her sacred beasts’ protection.

「I see, so that means you, Yama-jun, are the one who is desperately holding the reins to prevent the circle crush from happening.」

Well, that bitch went and killed both my beloved Rems, no question asked.

That bitch wasn't just destroying friendship, she was also ready to destroy you physically at any time.

「To be honest, I'm really glad to know that you're the one who came, Momokawa-kun.」

「Eh, for what reason?」

「I mean, you're one of the few who absolutely won't fall in love with Ayase-san.」

「Why are you so sure about that?」

「I mean, you like 'em big right?」

Please stop iterating my embarrassing secret with such a refreshing smile on your face. Rather, where did you get that kind of information? Tell me the name of the bastard who sold me. I was really shocked at hearing Yama-jun know of my fetish.

「Just to make sure, no one knows about this, right?」

「Hahaha, don't worry. If I really spilled all the secrets that I know, class 2-7 would basically be history even before our summoning to this world.」

Eh, what hell, that's just too scary man.

Could it be that… Yama-jun was the real class 2-7's crusher?

「Okee, Yamajun. Please take care of me then.」

「Yeah, let's do our best to capture this dungeon with everyone, Momokawa-kun.」
