Quantity 9, Epilogue

Half 1

A tavern within the royal capital.

I used to be dealing with an individual in a personal room arrange with partitions.

Subsequent to me, my accomplice Luxion, radiating a lethal vitality, his pink lens glowing mysteriously.

[Master, when do I have permission to attack?]

“Who mentioned something about that? I advised you we have been going to have a chat immediately.”

The particular person on the opposite finish of the road can also be in bother.

Herring’s accomplice, Courageous, appears at us with bloodshot eyes.

[Buddy! Be careful not to get poisoned. I’ll be poisoning all the food!]

“Isn’t that simply since you wish to eat?”

It was arduous to consider that the restaurant was surrounded by a bustling ambiance after the commotion all through the capital not way back.

Not many individuals take note of us within the crowded restaurant.

Within the first place, we selected this restaurant as a result of it had a partition so that folks couldn’t see us from the surface.

I lower out to Herring.

“Now, let’s have a heart-to-heart speak. What made you suppose I used to be suspicious within the first place? You have been spying on us on the day of the doorway ceremony, proper?”

Herring solutions my query as he sips his drink.

“There was no hero named Bartofalt in that Otome recreation. Do you perceive what this implies?”

I can guess every thing by his testing tone.

“Are you a reincarnated particular person?”

I suppose he thought he was proper about my response, so Herring continued to talk.

“My function is to guard Mia.”

“The protagonist?”

“Have you learnt what a guardian knight is? Within the empire, it’s a knight who protects ladies of excessive rank and standing, and I volunteered to be Mia’s guardian knight.”

“Because of that, I used to be suspicious of you too. There’s no such factor as a guardian knight in that otome recreation, proper.”

“It’s a long-established system over there.”

I discuss Mia-chan’s state of affairs.

“Did you comply with her as a result of she’s the Emperor’s illegitimate daughter?”

“Have you learnt that a lot?”

“I don’t know. Marie is the one who is aware of.”

“That pretend saint, huh”

Herring mentioned she was a pretend and held his brow together with his hand as if his head harm.

He additionally advised me that the Empire had heard rumors about us.

“Your rumors have reached us, too. There was no such hero as a fiend knight in that otome recreation. And the pretend saint didn’t seem both.”

“Is that why you suspected us?”

It’s true that even I’d be cautious if there have been somebody who wasn’t imagined to be within the place we have been going.

Herring’s fear was comprehensible.

I leaned again and was amazed at Herring’s cautiousness.

“Simply make contact with us! Quite the opposite, you even received in the way in which, that’s the worst half.”

It was Courageous who didn’t like what I had mentioned.

[You two are the worst! Immigrant ship Luxion ―― It’s the worst weapon the old humans have left!]

Luxion, who had been known as the worst weapon, appeared to be getting pissed off and talked again to Courageous.

[I am an immigrant ship entrusted with the hope of the old humans. The worst is not me, but you, isn’t it?]

[When it comes to combat, you’re no better than a highly maneuverable battleship, but the other specs are the worst! I’ve fought a ship of your type before, but never again.]

Such a robust demonic armor Courageous doesn’t wish to struggle the identical kind of ship of Luxion, huh.

Nevertheless, Luxion’s pink lens glows.

[――So you’re saying that you attacked the same ship that fled into space? Attacking a ship carrying non-combatants, that’s just like new humans.]

[Are you saying that?]

Herring and I have a look at one another and shrug, surprised on the two of them getting so riled up.

“Luxion, that’s sufficient. The dialog isn’t progressing.”

[It is futile to build a mutual understanding. Master, allow me to annihilate the relic of the new humans.]

“I advised you it was no good, proper.”

Herring can also be making an attempt to persuade Courageous to do the identical.

“Kurosuke, it’s a very long time in the past? Moreover, I wish to save Mia now.”

[――Aa~, you’re right.]

Save Mia-chan?

Talking of which, Marie advised me one thing that caught my consideration.

She was initially a really energetic and energetic woman, however for some cause, her physique was getting weaker and when she did strenuous train, she would have seizures and begin struggling.

I used to be curious in regards to the setting, which was to this point faraway from that otome recreation.

“The protagonist ―― Is Mia-chan’s physique weak?”

Herring was handing Courageous a drink. Courageous glared at me as he sipped his juice via a straw.

“She was high quality till final yr. However generally she has bother respiration. Though she has been examined by the perfect docs within the empire, the trigger stays unknown.”

“You don’t know the trigger?”

“In the event you give her magic energy, the seizures shall be relieved, so the therapeutic magic itself is working. However we haven’t been capable of deal with the basis of the issue. They are saying it’s getting progressively worse with no indicators of enchancment.”

“Did you let her research overseas in such a state?”

“I needed her to relaxation, too. However ―― There’s an essential occasion for Mia over right here.”

“Occasion?”

Marie additionally mentioned that Mia-chan had began to get sick final yr, however I didn’t anticipate it was an unexplained sickness.

Alternatively, it appears that evidently the villainous princess has been free of her sickly setting and is in good well being ―― what’s occurring?

Herring speaks about Mia-chan’s essential occasion.

“There’s an awakening occasion in the midst of the sport. Apparently, there are ruins in a dungeon within the royal capital, and if she touches them, Mia’s skills will awaken.”

I’ve not heard something from Marie in regards to the awakening occasion.

“I don’t find out about that”

“Though it’s a fairly essential occasion?”

I used to be somewhat pissed off when Herring checked out me like ‘Eh, you don’t find out about it?’.

“I’ve solely performed the primary recreation of that Otome recreation! How a lot of that otome recreation have you ever performed?”

Though you’re a person, is what I needed to say however this line would come again to boomerang on me.

And it isn’t sure that Herring’s earlier life was a person.

Selecting his phrases rigorously, Herring tells me why he is aware of that Otome recreation.

“I watched my little sister play it from her aspect. She’d fortunately inform me what the story was about, so I remembered it too.”

“You’re on good phrases together with your sister? Unbelievable.”

As somebody who had a sister named Marie, I didn’t wish to consider it.

Egocentric and self-indulgent, somewhat sister is an enemy to a giant brother.

After I give him a blatantly disgusted look, Herring forcefully brings the dialog again.

“――Effectively, there is a vital occasion for Mia. By way of the sport, it raises her standing, and I wish to see if perhaps we are able to use it to deal with her sickness.”

Listening to that, Luxion pours chilly water.

[It may not lead to a cure. At worst, it could worsen her condition.]

“Oi”

After I stopped Luxion, Herring appeared down.

Apparently, that risk can also be considered.

“That’s precisely as your accomplice says. I’m serious about the worst case situation. That’s why I used to be ordered to research within the kingdom. He desires me to assemble any data that may result in Mia’s treatment.”

If he can provide orders to Herring, he have to be a really high-ranking particular person within the Empire, proper?

In any case, Mia-chan is the emperor’s illegitimate baby.

It signifies that the empire considers Mia-chan essential sufficient to go to the difficulty of getting ready a guardian knight.

This half can also be totally different from that otome recreation.

I look sideways at Luxion.

“Is it doable so that you can heal Mia-chan?”

After I requested him if he was capable of deal with her, Herring appeared up and stared at Luxion.

I suppose he’s hoping for the know-how that Luxion has.

[――It’s hard to say without examining it. However, it is definitely more dependable than the demonic core that is there.]

The best way Luxion competes with Courageous is considerably very human.

Maybe Courageous was livid, his floor was prickly.

[There is no way I can entrust the important Mia to you!]

“Are you throwing away the potential of being cured like that? It’s a thought I don’t perceive. In any case, a demonic core isn’t any good. “

I seize Luxion to cease him from beginning one other struggle, and Herring grabs Courageous as effectively.

I suppose we each have a tough time with our companions.

“Effectively, we’ll study her subsequent time, I’m relieved that you simply’re not going to antagonize us. As a result of I don’t wish to struggle you once more.”

After I mentioned that, Herring frowned for some cause.

“I don’t wish to struggle you both. That armor is loopy, to start with.”

It’s impolite to name Arroganz loopy.

“You have been stronger than me. I did my finest, however my weapon was damaged, my ammo was out, and I used to be getting impatient.”

“Don’t be silly. You haven’t any concept how a lot chilly sweat I needed to escape once you stored altering weapons and attacking me.”

The Arroganz are characterised by their use of all kinds of weapons, however to me, who has handled all of them, Herring’s phrases sound like sarcasm.

“You’re the coward. I assumed I used to be going to be killed.”

Then Herring swung his fist down on the desk.

“I used to be nearly killed! That the final transfer is your Particular Assault? Due to that, Kurosuke was additionally wrecked.”

“I used to be panicking as a result of I hit it with full energy and it didn’t do a lot harm. I assumed, “I can’t win this one”.”

“I advised you I nearly died! And I used to be pondering of holding again.”

“You gotta be kidding me! That’s was holding again?! I assumed I’d be killed!”

Herring and I have been making quite a lot of noise when the waitress got here to our non-public room. Each Luxion and Courageous have been so cautious that they ducked underneath the desk and hid.

“Ano~, I’d respect it in case you’d be somewhat quieter.”

Each Herring and I apologize to the seemingly apologetic waitress.

“I’m sorry”

“I shall be cautious”

Because the waitress left, we sipped our drinks to replicate on one another and settle down a bit.

“Let’s discuss this one other time. You guys got here to check overseas since you wish to assist Mia-chan, proper? There isn’t a different function, proper?”

After I confirmed Herring and Courageous’s function, they each nodded on the similar time.

These guys get alongside nice.

“Proper”

[If only Mia was okay, we wouldn’t be coming to this country]

Let’s go away the disgruntled Courageous alone, this manner we now have no cause to struggle.

Simply realizing this alone is sufficient for me.

“Then it’s no downside for us both. I can assist you with the ruins, and I’ll lend you a hand in case you want something.”

I stroll as much as him, and surprisingly, Herring’s nervousness begins to falter. Then he appears at me curiously and asks.

“Is it okay?”

“What?”

“No ―― I assumed you, who was known as fiend knight, have been a person of worse high quality.”

Herring is apologetic to me and tells me some gossip about me earlier than I got here to the dominion.

“As a result of the rumors going across the Empire mentioned you’re heartless.”

“You possibly can’t depend on rumors. What sort of rumors, by the way in which?”

After I’m keen on my rumors, Herring is hesitant to inform me, however he tells me.

“Don’t be mad, okay? I heard a rumor that you simply beat the prince of your nation in a duel. Now that I give it some thought, although, that’s inconceivable.”

――Is it a duel with the 5 Idiots? Herring says it’s inconceivable, however I’m truly doing it.

“It’s a mistake”

“That’s proper. You wouldn’t beat a prince out of a stone, would you.”

“No ―― it was the 5 targets from the primary recreation that I beat up.”

“Ha?”

Luxion provides an in depth clarification to Herring, who doesn’t perceive what I’m speaking about.

[Master beat five nobles, including Julius, in public. The five of them were powerless before the overwhelming performance of the Arroganz.]

I bear in mind these days, and I really feel nostalgic.

“That was refreshing”

[Yes]

When Luxion and I say that, Herring rushes to verify on the following rumor.

“T-Then, what’s the story relating to the Republic? Is it true that you simply picked a struggle with one of many six noblemen?”

It was a mistake to select a struggle within the Republic of Arzel.

“Flawed”

“T-That’s proper. I suppose you don’t struggle with folks once you’re learning overseas, proper.”

To Herring’s reduction, I clarify the state of affairs intimately.

“If I had purchased the struggle that was offered to me, I’d have simply made many of the six nobles into enemies. By the way in which, I’m not the one who prompted the collapse. There was a coup d’état, and once we moved to suppress it, the Republic merely collapsed.”

Courageous, who was at Herring’s aspect, speechless, was tugging at his garments together with his small palms.

[Buddy, this guy is worse than the rumor]

It was Luxion, whose loyalty was excessive solely immediately, who was offended by Courageous’s phrases.

[I don’t like what I’m hearing. Do you really think this is the end of Master’s cruelty? You haven’t heard any rumors yet about how bad he is.]

“All proper, you shut up.”

I assumed I had woke up his loyalty, however apparently it was my misunderstanding.

Herring appears at me and pulls away.

“I didn’t anticipate it to be as worse than the rumors.”

For some cause, he appeared to be much more cautious.

.

After I got here again to the college, I used to be caught by Marie, who was ready for me.

“You’re late! The curfew has already handed! May it’s that you simply’ve been consuming?”

I suppose I scent prefer it as a result of I used to be in a tavern, however I’m principally not keen on alcohol.

“I gained’t drink till I’m 20.”

“That’s a silly reply. It’s already authorized over right here.”

“I stay in accordance with my very own guidelines. So, what would you like?”

Marie had tears in her eyes as she confirmed her angle that I needed to chop the foolish dialog and get again to my room.

She clasped her palms collectively and advised me how severe she was.

“Aniki, . ―― Erika is my daughter!”

Listening to Marie’s story, I yawn.

Luxion, who was by my aspect, was frightened about Marie.

[Unless she was drunk, it’s a memory disorder, isn’t it? Marie, did you hit your head hard?]

“I’m not drunk, and I didn’t hit my head!”

I giggle at Marie as she yells at Luxion.

“If that have been the case, you’d be much more severely injured. Within the first place, Princess Erika is Milene-san’s organic baby, not your daughter. It might be disrespectful to deal with her as your daughter.”

As I say this, Marie throws a low kick to my shin.

“Ow!”

Marie stared at me, my eyes tearing up from the ache.

“What does that imply?”

“No, ano, I meant that it’s not good to be heard out within the open――N-No offense.”

I don’t know why I used to be talking politely, however the present Marie had an influence that would not be denied.

Seeing me apologize, Luxion appears amused.

[It sounded like you had other thoughts in your tone?]

“Do you don’t have any intention of defending your Grasp?”

As I’m about to proceed my dialog with Luxion, Marie claps her palms and turns our gaze to her.

“Simply hearken to me!”

We reluctantly determined to hearken to Marie’s story.

Marie had a extremely severe look on her face.

“She’s my daughter, however a daughter from a earlier life. In different phrases, Erika is aniki’s from a earlier life.”

“――Ha?”

I couldn’t consider it for a second, however I had heard earlier than that Marie had one daughter.

I’d heard she was a mild woman, not in contrast to Marie, was that her?

“No, why my niece? R-Actually?”

“I’ve confirmed it, so I’m positive.”

“When did she die?”

“She mentioned she lived to be about sixty, so why do you care?”

“She’s two years youthful than us”

She died a long time after us, however she was reincarnated two years after us?

I used to be confused, nevertheless it was the identical with Marie.

“I additionally don’t know the small print. I’m fairly positive it’s her.”

Luxion briefly explains what we’re questioning.

[It’s pointless to discuss this topic when Master and Marie are in the same grade. Isn’t there a time requirement?]

We don’t know a lot about reincarnated folks both.

How did we get reincarnated on this world ―― there’s no technique to know.

In any case, the following factor I knew, I used to be dwelling on this world.

Luxion is keen on reincarnated folks.

[However, it would be very interesting to see if there are any rules. Let’s continue the detailed investigation.]

Greater than that, what I’m extra involved about is Erika.

“Is my niece a villain princess?”

What’s going to occur now?
