EPISODE 214 : Hiiro and Monkey

=========================================================

Hiiro went sightseeing with Nikki and Camus. And because its about time for dinner, he tried to find a good place to eat.

But Hiiro was nave. How will this country treat someone like him? He surely didnt think about it.

Ah, Hero-sama!

Woah, its true!

is that really Hiiro-sama?!

He shined like a sore thumb wherever he goes.

Oooh As expected of my master-desuzo! I am proud as a disciple-desuzo! Ahem!

Hiiropopular

Nikki held her chest in pride to the popularity of his master, though Camus has the same deadpan expression as before.

As the citizens gather one after the other so much that its kind of irritating, Hiiro, who had no other choice, grabs Nikki by the scruff,

Anyway, lets look for a place with no people

Ugucantcant breath desujoo!?

understood

Nikki gave a pained expression with her heck being strangled, but Hiiro didnt mind it while breaking through the place without care.

They entered an alley where no one is around, where they were able to stay somehow.

(Good grief, this has become a pain in the ass)

Hiiro used (Change) to morph himself from a human into an Evila. Its not his usual Imp Race, but an Asura Race which is similar to Camus.

And because his red robe draws attention, he changed it into a blue one. With this, they should be unable to distinguish Okamura Hiiro who saved their country.

Oooh So cool, Master!

samesame as Hiiro

Though shes rubbing her neck that has been stangled, Nikki praised him in a high note. And for some reason, Camus seemed happy.

Good. With this, we wont have any problems. Shall we look for a simple place to eat?

Most of the people are still looking for Hiiro when they left the alley. For them, a hero who is wandering in the town with them is a must to see.

They received a lot of questions about Hiiro being seen or so, and they felt relieved that they didnt notice somehow. Meaning, when you say that he went over there, they will certainly follow suit.

(Theyre like an otaku group that has finally found their idol)

Just thinking about the large crowd surging at him made him shiver

But, with this, they were able to stroll peacefully on the surroundings without care, finally finding the shop theyre looking for.

They say that there is a store that sells junk food-like things in Japan

SOFT AND FLUFFY DELICACIES

as written in the signboard. A sweet savory aroma drifted here, leading their feet as if they were magnetized.

What is brought into their eyes are round objects just like takoyaki, but tied like a balloon and suspended in the air, as if its floating

What is this?

To the queston of Hiiro, the store owner who noticed that a customer came, clasps her hands and pulls out a merchants smile.

Oh, Come, come! Try our Demon CountrySpecial Fuwafuwa Fries, would you like to try one?

Hes like an old true-born Tokyoite raising his voice to make a fine living.

Special? Is it good?

Of course it is! This Fuwafuwa Fries is made up of Fuwanpopo flowers deep-fried in oil. As for what the sauce is made up of, its a secret!

Hohou, then one for

Then, something pulls his clothes in the rear. As he looked back, he saw Camus and Nikki with sparkling puppy eyes as if they are begging the master of the house. It seems that they want to try it, too.

old man, three, nomake it six

Thus he ordered two for each one of them.

Gotcha. How does 450 Rigin sound?

Can I use the guild card?

And particles of light gathered and took form of a card in his hand.

You can. Please make a transfer on the stand over there

As they look over, they saw a card on a silver ashtray-like container on the counter. Then, as he overlapped his card with the card present, he wished for a 450 Rigin transfer permission. With this, the payment should end safely.

good, payment confirmed! Here you go!

The old man picks up the card and takes a look. Apparently, he has received the confirmation somehow, and handed theFuwafuwa Friesover.

Its really like a balloon with gas and tied with a string, floating buoyantly as it is.

Oh yeah, you can also eat the string as it is made up of candy!

Because it has a teeny weenie kid size upon seeing it closer, he swallowed the whole thing in one bite.

The coating is crunchy and savory, and has an aroma of an elegant flower. Additionally, the sweet thick honey oozing from the inside is very yummy.

(This is delicious it will certainly become a hit for children)

(TN NOTE: As expected of our loli magnet protagonist! To think of the childrens interests first and foremost!)

While thinking so, his view switched to Nikki with flushed cheeks as she stuff her mouth with great relish. Then she took the two pieces in her mouth in one go.

This kid wait, why are you too, Nitoryuu!?

Nnom?

Surprisingly, there is another child here. Camus stuffs two in his mouth just like Nikki.

(Oh well, nevermind)

But the moment when Hiiro opens his mouth to take a bite of the Fuwafuwa Fries,

Swish!

A shadow passed through his eyes with amazing swiftness, and the Fuwafuwa Fries in his right hand had disappeared.

What!?

As if its a serious matter, he looked around restlessly, and found the culprit on a building.

The creature is like a small squirrel monkey, and on its hand is the Fuwafuwa Fries that it took from Hiiros hand a while ago.

Kiki?

The monkey smiles impudently, causing the veins in Hiiros forehead to swell blue.

Ma, master?

Hi, Hiiro?

The two people murmured, while taking distance from Hiiro who was about to burst with anger.

Fufufufufufu

The moment Camus and Nikki saw Hiiros dark smile, they took a gulp and had frozen in place.

Some nerve you have, you monkey thief. Look forward to my gratitude for taking my pleasure away

Hiiro kicks the ground and chases after the monkey.

Nikki and Camus who are left can only see him off in utter amazement.

As Hiiro was giving chase to the monkey who stole his Fuwafuwa Fries, he realized that he had come out to a foreign territory.

Tsk, curse you, thieving monkey! Dont you think that you had escaped!

without minding his appearance, he pursued it with the characters (Search).

gigi?

The monkey made an insulting grin as if treating him like a fool, causing his anger to shoot up fast.

Prepare yourself, you little critter! Im going to show you whos on top of the food chain?

Then, for some reason, it jumped towards his place.

are you an idiot! Well, still works for me!

He wrote and shoot (Arrest) towards the monkey in an instant. As it hit the monkey,

Bachin!!

The characters were repelled and dispersed.

What!?

Although being surprised, the monkey jumps towards his face, scratches his cheeks with its sharp fingernails, uses it as a jumping platform, then does a backflip and finally lands on the ground smoothly.

It hurts

He covers his scratched face with his hands by reflex, but then notices something for the first timeWait, my glasses are missing!

As he look up towards the monkey, it was already wearing his glasses in its small head, laughing at him. Moreover, it is already nibbling the Fuwafuwa Fries it was holding.

fufufufufu, is that what you wanted? I see, I see

It seems that preaching wont be enough for this monkey. A punishment will be necessary.

I will definitely roast you brown!

The monkey twitched. It seems that it understood that hes now very angry. It turned its body behind, preparing to escape.

DO you think Ill let you go?

Only one thing remained in his mind: to catch the ape.

(Electricity) and (Solid)

In a flash, a prison made up of electricity emerges from the feet of the ape, succeeding on catching it alive.

Go on, try touching that electricity. After that a full course meal of a scorched monkey is finished

Though it will also fry his glasses with it, he has forgotten that fact completely. But the monkey turned its body, and tried to strike the electric prison with the torque of its spinning tail.

Bachin!!

It happened again. The magic was repelled easily again.

I see

Hiiro sets his lips in a straight line, and writes another character.

(Needle)

Aiming on the ground this time, he shoot cactus-like needles toward the monkey one afteranother.

(Can you avoid this much?)

There is something that made him convinced. And without a single bit of hesitation at all, it jumped in the air.

You avoided it, as expected. Then, hows this!

(earth) and(solid)

It changed from (Electricity) to (Earth) this time.

The earth rises, engulfing the monkey in the air, capturing it. Then, the ape finally showed its impatience.

It goes back and forth the jail while raising a small cry.

What happened? Why wont you repel it just like what youve done a while ago?

Gigi!

Its no use. Because you are

When he was about to say the continuation, a fissure is made all of a sudden in the space near the ape. He maximized his instincts and took a stance. As he quietly watches out whats going to happen next, coming out of nowhere

is a pure white snake.
