Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai - Chapter 183.2 - Gathering 1

Chapter 183.2 – Gathering 1

TN: Check out my new project too! The Replacement for Suicidal Undead catches up with the raw.

===

Shimokawa aborted his dogeza tactic. He knew that this was the time to corner Yuuto.

「We lost Yamajun you know!」

「Wha-What…」

Yes, he struck back by telling Yuuto that Reina was not the only victim.

Everyone was getting along with the youth called Yamakawa Junichiro, who was called Yamajun by everyone.

「HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED YAMADA’S FEELINGS!? YAMAJUN IS HIS BEST FRIEND!!!」

「And what are you trying to tell me? Of course, I’ll be sad if Yamajun is really dead, but what’s my involvement in that matter?」

Souma Yuuto was also getting along with Yamajun to some extent. He was considered by the entire class as a friendly youth who was full of consideration. He was a young man who could get along with anyone regardless of their gender.

But Yuuto never met Yamajun after the entire class got sent into this dungeon. Thus, though it was obvious that he had nothing to do with Yamajun’s death, he stopped for a second and considered the option that it might be somehow indirectly related to him.

「You see, Ayase-san waas caught in one of the traps in that area. A trap that shows an illusion of someone we want to see the most.」

Now, Souma Yuuto had a vague suspicion that he never thought about until now. In fact, Yuuto’s innocence was anything but fake at this point, but the story was just too confusing. And due to his curiosity, he ended up wanting to know the entire situation.

For the same reason, Yuuto, or rather, all members of his party had finally calmed down and were willing to hear the entire story.

「We’re also caught in that trap, but we managed to get out of it. However, Ayase-san refused to wake up from that trap. And just when we’re trying to wake her up… That THING appeared, Souma Yuuto.」

「W-What’s the meaning of thi—」

「Ayase-san has this really amazing vocation called 『Spiritualist』. It’s a super strong vocation that allows her to summon a super strong monster called spirit beast. And the new spirit beast that was summoned by Ayase-san back then is Your Phantom『Souma Yuuto』.」

「… In short, Yamajun was killed by that spirit beast.」

「How stupid! That’s just a false accusation! My dear brother has nothing to do with that!」

Sakura shouted as she drew her bow.

Her action was akin to that of a selfish child who blamed everyone for her own fault. The kind of person who couldn’t be reasoned with.

「Shut up! We’re the ones who witnessed it dammit! Yamajun was killed by Souma! Don’t ever think that you will get by with it!」

However, the other party had also thrown common sense out of the window.

They knew that Yamajun wasn’t killed by Souma Yuuto. But seeing the face of Souma Yuuto who was a literal carbon copy of Souma-look-alike who killed their best friend, the real Souma Yuuto aside, it was only natural for the one who lost their best friend to lose control of themself. It was something akin to trauma.

「YE-YEAH! SHIMOKAWA IS RIGHT!」

「EXACTLY, BECAUSE OF THAT SOUMA-LIKE SPIRIT BEAST, WE’D TO RISK OUR LIFE TO SAVE REINA-CHAN!」

「DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW!? EVEN THOUGH WE LOST YAMAJUN, WE STILL TRIED TO SAVE THE CULPRIT WHO KILLED HIM! AND THEN YOU CAME, AN IGNORANT LATECOMER WHO SUDDENLY STARTED BERATING US LIKE MADMAN! APOLOGIES! APOLOGIES TO YAMADA, NOW!」

Seeing Ueda and Nakai taking the advantage of the situation to reverse the situation, Shimokawa shouted to Yuuto’s side to gain more advantage.

On the other hand, Souma Yuuto didn’t say anything and looked like he was pondering something.

「You’re a man, stop making such baseless accusations! Brother, don’t believe them.」

「Wait, Sakura. I…」

「Moreover, even if that’s true, it’s a fact that Reina is killed by Momokawa. And you guys are his accomplices…」

「I’ve told you again and again that it was something that happened when we tried to save her――」

「To begin with, Reina’s case aside, you guys have the track record of attacking Kotori too. Don’t tell me that you have forgotten about that incident.」

「O-Oi, why did you bring that up now!? It has nothing to do with this situation.」

When Yuuto fell silent, now it was Sakura’s turn to start berating the trio like a bitch.

Moreover, the matter of him attempting to rape Kotori was something akin to black history for Shimokawa.

[Why is this fu*king bitch bringing the past like that, does she have some sort of grudge?] Shimokawa thought to himself.

「I can’t trust any of you. However, considering the fact that you’ve nothing to do with Reina’s death, I’ll spare your life. Now get out of this place immediately.」

「Hey, don’t boss us around!」

「If you don’t leave now, You’ve to fight all of us right here. And when that happens, I’ll show no mercy!」

She pulled the bowstring to the fullest and suspended a light arrow in the air, Sakura was ready to fire her arrow at Shimokawa at any given time.

「Wa-Wait a frigging minute, we’ve no intention to cause trouble he――」

[Dammit, I should’ve stuck to the dogeza plan!] he thought to himself but then,

「UWOOOOOOOOOO!?」

It happened just when he thought he was shot to death.

Dazzling light filled the entire space. He thought that Sakura, who was pissed off, fired her arrow of light right onto his face.

And yet, he didn’t feel any pain. Only then did he realize the direction from which the light came.

Rather, the blinding light was something that he experienced a while ago.

That light only meant one thing―― Other people have arrived at this plaza.

The moment everyone in the plaza saw the silhouette of the newly arrived classmate, they all uttered one name.

「It’s Momokawa huh.」

Tendou Ryuichi said with a bored look on his face, but he was the first one to speak upon seeing the short silhouette.

「Oh, it’s Momokawa.」

The one who truly spoke with a flat voice was Himeno Airi and Nakajima Haruma. They only spoke of Kotaro’s name because this was the first time they saw that short classmate of theirs.

「Mo-Mo-Momokawa!」

The one who called his name with reverence, like one was seeing a hero when he got cornered, was Shimokawa who was about to be shot to death by Sakura.

「Momokawa…」

And naturally, the one who called his name with a complicated look on his face was the 『Hero』, Souma Yuuto.

He was brimming with rage toward the killer of his dearest childhood friend, Reina Adelheid Ayase, who he failed to protect.

Souma Yuuto gripped the hilt of his sword tightly as he unleashed a genuine killing intent that was completely different from the one that he pointed toward Shimokawa and the rest toward Kotaro.

「Yo, Souma-kun.」

Momokawa Kotaro called out his name.

In this place where many classmates had gathered together, the shortest in the class and also nerd of the literary club who gained the undivided attention of all those present―― was truly someone befitting of his 『Shaman』 vocation as he could still smile carefreely even when facing this kind of situation.

The 『Hero』’s killing intent was on full throttle while the 『Shaman』 smiled carefreely as if ignoring it all.

「This reunion is faster than I expected. Has your head cooled a l―― BUWAAAAAA!?」

「MOMOKAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

The one who rushed first to Kotaro wasn’t the 『Hero』 who raised his sword of light high above his head.

「MOMOKAWAA! THIS FOOL! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE’RE WORRIED ABOUT YOU!?」

「A-Aah, so-sorry for making you constantly worry about me Randou-sa-ugh…」

The one whose feeling had surpassed Souma Yuuto’s wrath was Randou Kyouko who had always been worrying about Kotaro ever since the latter got kidnapped by Arachne.

「Tha-Thank God… Thank God you survived that incident!」

「Uhmuhm.」

And just like that, Kyouko embraced Kotaro with all her might-suffocating the latter- as she started to cry, leaving everyone around speechless for a while.
