Young God Divine Armaments Chapter 26

Chapter 26 – Peace and The Shadow Looming at It

“Uumu……”

Renya is together with Therese today. They are now in a forest located in a foot of a mountain somewhere close to Rugartia. Both of them is holding their head, troubled by something.

“I’m sorry Therese, I never thought that it would also affects your magic gun too”

To Renya who lowers his head, Therese can only desperately shake her head denying what Renya said.

According to Floria:

And that sums it all up. It was good that it can be easily understood but Renya has doubt whether it is fine to easily give a blessing from a god like this? Well, it just Renya with his usual antics

But then again, with possibility of getting involved in a big battle looming near in the future, it is better for Therese to have more cards up in her sleeve to play. With that in mind, Renya in the end bring Therese to experiment her divine blessing when it all happened.

That’s right, Therese’s gun basically use Therese’s mana as the bullet so she can control the bullet properties finely from its firepower to its attribute element. Because of that, they try to experiment on how much the firepower will increase if Therese uses divine power instead. Just to be safe, Renya orders Therese to fire at the lowest output possible but it still bring this kind of result. Besides losing a weapon, the plan to strengthen Therese miko ability had hit a wall quickly.

“I thought that if we use only the smallest portion of it then the gun can withstand my divine power. I really make light of this god power”

In any case, letting it left broken is bad. Renya use his divine power to detect his surroundings.

“Yosh! I have coated the entire metallic surface with my self-made divine metal. In just a glance it seems to be nothing changed but this gun now should be able to hold even if Therese uses her full strength”

“I don’t know just how much you want to test it with but I can say one thing for sure. This gun would never ever break again. Because in a way, this gun already becomes one of my divine armaments that’s why”

Therese let out a big happy voice when accepting her new improved gun. She unexpectedly have a trigger happy side within her too. Suddenly, the peculiarities of the girls surrounding Renya come to his mind.

When thinking like that, Brenda as the one with common sense would definitely buried by the other peculiarity normally. But to Renya, she is the only girl that can stop him from going rampant. She is the last defense line that the party had. This fact made Brenda existence in his heart gets even bigger.

Within him, there is feeling of wanting to spoil Therese rotten like what he would do to his own little sister but there is also feeling of wanting to see that cherubic face dyed in bashfulness while engaging in that of what a lovers would do. However, Renya still holds his old world value which deemed his later desire as a taboo, a dangerous desire that should be suppressed no matter what. If he were to do that in his old world, his hand will definitely be brought to his back* without question and that memory unconsciously put constriction in Renya’s mind.

Moreover, if that truth is to be exposed, he can’t even imagine how the girls in his party will react to it. They would definitely hate him for that and it brings shiver down to his spine. Renya quickly seals that kind of thought immediately after. He tries to relieve his own worry by saying to himself that everything will gonna be okay as long as he followed the right order. No one knows what he wants to achieve by following the procedure step by step though.

“A transforming gun!? Is that possible!?”

“Y-Yeah. It has become my divine armament now, so anything is possible. Let see, we can make your gun transform into a large caliber mode that will enhanced its firepower big time on Therese will or changing the bullet attributes accordingly to the element it used……”

“Well that is the most basic and the prerequisite technology needed so it’s normal. Composing a new kind of conception and make it takes a form is something really hard to do realistically speaking”

“When you say ‘Boost’* in your mind then the gun will transform into a bigger form. Be mindful that the bigger it gets the larger mana and divine power consumption will be so be careful with it. When you say ‘Element’ in your mind then the gun will shoot a bullet with the element that Therese had in mind. Well strictly speaking it was not ‘shoot’ but ‘emits’ kind of feeling. It was different from the previous concept so get used to it. And lastly of course the firepower and ability got upgraded by a lot so you must be more careful when using it. Am I clear?”

She really is a good and obedient girl. Looking at her like this, Renya is having a hard time to fight his own urge to jump in to Therese and rub her cheek with his own then do lickity-lick* on her. His last reasoning that says if he does that then everything will meet their end is successful in holding him back.

“Let’s do it desu!”

=+=

“So the other will just going to wait for other people to move first is that what you say?”

“Humph! They are in the end just weaklings that easily satisfied with a mere sum of money. But then again I can’t recklessly show my ace card around. If there is a spy among them then my plan would be jeopardized before I can do anything”

“So what, if they willing to swear allegiance to me even after we done the thing I will still gladly use them”

A man clad in black, while saying such things, respectfully lower his head.

“With the suspicious activity in the northern continent, how can our kingdom shows such a weak spot such as doing an unification with the neighborhood kingdom? The new kingdom that is created from such weakling cheap trick like that is just like saying please trample us down to those aggressor. If one wants to unite the kingdom then it should be from showing our strength, the military power that is the kingdom strength! By taking down our enemy with using military power we can show the world how strong we are! Just by simply fattening the kingdomis just the same as having a papiermache for our military power! But that fool older brother of mine, why did you accept such rubbish that is spouted by that bastard prince from the neighborhood kingdom!?”

“My lord the king only has two daughter as his successor. He should definitely be worried about the successor to the throne and this kingdom future”

“That’s why my lord the duke going to stand up to all of this farce right?”

“That’s right. My lord the duke is indeed the hero that will avert this kingdom from crisis. For such hero, we can only give our help the best we can”

“Never in our dream ever we dare to defy you my lord. We are just simply agreed to my lord’s ideal and will give out our all to support you. That reward is just the minimum amount we need to survive”

“Let’s do that! And then in the end ---- my lord the duke will left his name in the annals of history as the rightful king of this kingdom!”

Conrad is already having his eyes turned to the throne located in the royal castle. His tenacity filled shout gives out a dark, ghastly image. And then, the man clad in black, gives out a silent smile from under his hood.

Author notes: I won’t make it into a mahou shoujo* show (lol)

Eros Notes: This chapter was unexpectedly short. I usually reach 3000+ words per chapter but this chapter doesn’t even reach that much. Well... enjoy it.

* BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! Wargod shot! (can’t help wanting to say that)

*mahou shoujo: typical anime about little girl turned into a magician to fight off evil. Until Madoka appears.
