Lightning Empress Maid Chapter 89

I know how dangerous a cornered beast can be.

be careful

Never giving up on survival ever since birth, even if the opponent is Nanaki, when it comes to the very end, they will resist. If it were a human that could think, they would probably be petrified and be trembling in despair. But animals aren’t like that. When the end comes, they will struggle to live. The bear that judged that it couldn’t escape used its two legs to support its body and stood up.

thoughts can hinder

In it’s roar was it’s tenacity in clinging to life. Animals are animals, yet they live in a much better way than humans that don’t have pride. It brandished those sharp claws and bared its fangs that could easily tear through human flesh. Bears mainly move around on four legs, but they can also move on two like humans. The size of a bear standing on two legs had seemed terrifying when I was young.

but not now

But those fangs and claws can no longer reach Nanaki. Those claws that tore and fangs that shredded are no longer scary.

Nanaki has grown~

Nanaki knows.

Nanaki has learnt

Yes, because Nanaki grew up in this forest, Nanaki knows. You cannot live being scared, even if it is scary, if you don’t fight you cannot survive. Since that day Nanaki lost beloved Mother, Nanaki has survived. That’s why I know, whether big or small, male or female, all of that doesn’t matter.

only the surface

The weak are eaten, that is an unchanging law of existence. As long as that remains constant, this Nanaki will not step off this path of survival. Which means for as long as the earth exists, Nanaki-sama will follow sun-sama. It is about time to start worshiping me, you can get Nanaki-sama’s blessing.

(T/N: May Nanaki-sama bless me so that I didn’t actually misinterpret  即ち天地長久、御天道様に続く御ナナキ様である。If I did someone please correct me)

“Gaoo!!”

gaooooo

The bear roared. Itadakimasu.

intermission

“Ridolf……Ridolf……!!”

“My apologies, Zean-sama……..!! Just that, I couldn’t fall asleep……!!”

overslept?

For some reason head butler Ridolf was called twice and he then apologised. I cleared my throat to rebuke my master. I am unaware of what this scolding is about, but such an act is not suitable for this refreshing morning. Head butler Ridolf also isn’t used to the capital, and having to suddenly sleep at a house in Central, he probably couldn’t relieve his fatigue.

he failed to guard

Thanks to that, the scene of the breakfast that Nanaki made being set out on the dining table that I have seen in my dreams has become reality.

….

Please look Friend, doesn’t this bear meat look absolutely delicious? In consideration of everyone who has lived civilised lives for a long time, I processed it immediately after finishing it off, so smell should not be a problem. Bear meat really smells just a few hours after the bear is killed. With the ma.s.s of it’s large body, draining the blood isn’t easy either.

fresh

However, draining blood and gutting is this Nanaki’s specialty. Direct delivery from the source in a second from Nanaki’s forest to the capital, sending you fresh meat. Additionally with the barbecue skills Nanaki showed at the summer resort Shiel-sama invited us to, of course the extent of cooking is perfect. Now then, you should understand it even without me saying it.

???

Master maid Nanaki reigns here.

no

“Meat first thing in the morning……and meat only……”

“Eating meat will blow away your sleepiness, Meia-sama. Just meat…….chira.”

“Do you want to die first thing in the morning?”

(T/N: Nanaki’s horrible english puns again, ジャストミート can be directly read as ‘just meat’ or apparently also means being someone’s type(just meet preferences?))

I want to live.

actions speak louder than words

Seeing Meia-sama clad in a wave of killing intent, I shook my head at high speed. Since I feel a much greater danger to my life here compared to my foolish brother than was taken away by G.o.ds, Meia-sama’s talent might actually be quite outrageous.

psychological advantage

“……I’m dieting so I will give it all to onii-sama.”

smrt

First I’ve heard of that. But I won’t interrupt, Nanaki is a splendid maid. Mother.

erai erai

“You will sacrifice your real brother?”

“Show that you will even take a curse for the sake of your cute sister, onii-sama.”

gogo onii-sama

That sounds cool. But this is starting to hurt.

gla.s.s heart

“Come come, Akiha-san too!”

for friendship!

At these times, I will place my hopes on her, Nanaki’s friend. At first she was just concerned about me because we were the same race, but by now we are intimate friends. I made contact with her dark eyes which are apparently a j.a.pp.e.n.i.se trait. Instant nanakismile of friendship. Help yourself.

instant smile, instant meat

“O, okay……”

go akiha!

The fork burning with friendship stabbed into the beat meat that Nanaki cooked and carried it into Akiha-san’s small mouth. Hey Friend, did you know? It seems friendship can be seen with the naked eye. I love Akiha-san.

fork of friendship!

“N……..a………Na, Nana-san, erm, seasoning……”

what seasoning

There isn’t anything like that in the forest.

want some salt from your tears?

“Erm it is nice but, erm……the taste of the meat……or more like smell……ugu…….”

“……I will give you my share too Akiha.”

“I am full so no thank you, Vilmott-sama.”

“Just eat it.”

coward

You eat.

specially made

“Gumu……..!?”

nice right?

I shoved the taste of Nanaki’s birthplace into Vilmott Arkahn’s mouth. The freshest meat obtained just this morning, there is no way it won’t be delicious. I’ve heard that civilised humans have likes and dislikes, but can you say the same in Nanaki’s forest? If you don’t eat you will die so eat d.a.m.n it.

eating won’t kill you

“~~~~!?”

probably

It was probably so delicious he spontaneously collapsed, Vilmott Arkahn let out a groan after chewing a few times. I understand your feelings. Nanaki also unintentionally let out a groan the first time Nanaki ate civilised cooking.

too good

“Na, Nanaki-san……”

“What is it, head butler Ridolf?”

“What meat is this…….”

“Bear.”

“Oeeee!!”

WHY

In Nanaki’s house!?

horrible guest

I must immediately dispose of the vomit that Vilmott Arkahn splattered about. What are you doing at breakfast, and you still call yourself a n.o.ble? Even though Nanaki has specially served you Nanaki’s home cooking, I cannot repress my surprise at the severity of civilised human’s likes and dislikes. Just because it smells a little, you can’t eat it, can you even survive like that?

….so far/////

It is impossible for Lightning Empress Nanaki to dirty my hands with that filth. But I am master maid Nanaki, hands can be washed any number of times afterwards. Borrow a cloth immediately and begin cleaning, complete. Instantly wash my hands, multiple times. The next necessary thing is ventilation. This smell is not good, it’s a lot worse than the bear meat.

filthy

“……Nanaki?”

yes?

I saw Harmy who had been quietly observing until know suddenly mutter that. That expression that didn’t waver when confronting Nanaki crumbled a little. Just worrying about her emotions is pointless. That’s why Nanaki will pray. That she doesn’t fold to the name Nanaki, that she can enforce her pride.

have Nanaki’s blessing

“At such a busy time……! What commotion is it this time Nanaki!!”

“Shut up and eat meat”

“Mogaa!?”

shut up silver

I also treated Silver who showed up. He was most likely called here by Harmy’s subordinate. When Silver talks, it gets long, so it’s better to not let him talk. As expected of Nanaki, no gaps.

perfec-

“Ooi Nanaki? What was that tone?”

agh

Ah!?

they called for Envy too

Envy was also there. Because I was distracted by Harmy’s change, I relaxed in my search for enemies. A mistake, the price was being frozen by a look. When I looked, there was a smile where the eyes weren’t smiling. Unable to do anything, I lowered my head, Nanaki was surely in the wrong. Those eyes say that. Scary.

deathsmiles

“Stinks!? Wh, What’s this meat!?”

“It is bear-san!”

“You dare feed people trash!?”

“Bear Thunder!”

“Agagagagagagagagaga!?”

die

Nanaki properly ate the leftovers. Thanks for the meat.

the end

Hecate mistyped the agagagagaga part as ahahahaha at first.

Was tempted to leave it that way……..when the shock(?) of the amazing(?) taste of bear meat makes Silver laugh………..
