Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta
4-5: In the House of Toruma
"What did you do this time...?"
"It's wire... "
The workshop visit was scheduled in the afternoon today, so I spent some free time doing some handwork...
Even though I said wire, it wasn't a simple steel thread...
If I apply magic liquid to the thread, it becomes able to move it at my discretion...
It cannot move freely as desired, so it may be good to think carefully on the direction of knitting...
Totona who sat on my lap had become entangled in a wire, so her work was not really working...
I had asked Tiane to help me hold the thread, but it seemed like he was having fun with the wire...
Tiane, even if you're tired, please don't play with the wire with Totona...
"I know what you're really making...!"
Hoo...?
"That's for sure, the sword whip...!"
What...?
Does it have anything to do with the wire...
"I just made a normal cable...?"
The sword whip Lina spoke of seemed to appear in a certain anime, it was a fantasy weapon where the sword could be detached like a whip connected to a wire and return to the shape of a sword...
It's probably like a three-part staff...
I don't think it's practical at all...
Although, if I had the nature magic of [Magic Hand] and [Mana String], I probably wouldn't need a wire that could move at will, but it might be better not to tell it to her...
The workshop visit in the afternoon ended sooner than scheduled, so I decided to come at the Toruma residence as I promised a few days ago...
I was followed by Lina, Tiane and for some reason, also Miss Karina and her maid Pina...
Totona naturally did not look like they wanted to leave and since the others also seemed like they did not want to meet Toruma, I left them...
You've done a great job with great hate, Toruma san...
I had imagined that the residence of Toruma would be 3 LDK because I was told that it was a separate building from the mansion of Viscount Shimen, but otherwise, it was, the residence was easily larger than the mansion we lived in...
We entered from the back door near the Toruma residence so I could not see the main building, but it was supposed to be an impressive building...
Viscount Shimen is developing well...
No wait, the building was probably the fruit of the power of many generations...
"I'm sorry for my long absence, Hayuna san... "
"It's been a long time, Secilia san..."
"Ara.I have to stop calling you Secilia san... "
"Since you have the title of Noble, I wonder if I should call you by your house name... "
Hayuna san whom I had not seen for a long time was wearing the casual noble clothes like an innocent wife...
They are inconspicuous, but look graceful and of high quality...
Mayuna is being hugged by a middle-aged maid who looks to be a nanny...
Meanwhile, Miss Karina looked at the situation with great interest, but she did not try to approach the baby at all...
"Do you want to try holding her in your arms, Karina is the same...?"
Hayuna san had offered it to miss Karina, but she only replied by shaking her head...
Come to think of it, he was submissive in front of Toruma...
Unexpectedly, she might be his first love...
"Has Karina the same went to the opera house...?"
"No chance yet..."
"You should go... "
"You should hear Lulilutoa's miraculous fairy voice at least once...!"
"Hee... fairy, you mean...?"
"It's hard to tell the difference between fairies, but it might be elves..."
We chatted while enjoying tea and snacks on the terrace...
Hayuna san was talking about various topics with the silent and meek Karina, but she did not respond well...
Tiane followed Hayuna-san to help her...
"Ohh right....Secilia... "
"Fra... Toruma..."
"What's up...?"
Toruma will say something at this point, but it will forever be a mystery...
It was because the mood had been dyed by the appearance of a woman yan barging through the bushes.
"Fra... Toruma nii san, I thought you eloped, you're back...?"
"Hey... Rin, it's been a long time..."
"You're getting very pretty... "
What appeared was Miss Ringrande...
He called Toruma's brother out of habit since his childhood, but he was actually his cousin...
It seemed like he was not wearing his armor and sword today...
He was dressed like a red knight with a thin sword hanging down...
However, judging from how he appeared, was he being chased by someone...?
"Toruma nii san, I'm sorry, but can you let me hide here for a while...?"
"No problem..."
"I never refused Rin's request, did I...?"
"Thank you, nii san is always reliable... "
Miss Ringrande observed the people around while thanking Toruma and as soon as she saw me in the corner of her eyes, she approached...
"You... after failing to make friends with Sera, now you are trying to approach her from the outer path...?"
That's pretty embarrassing even for false accusations...
The misunderstanding should be cleared up with Sera's explanation...
Lina glanced at him for a moment, but I gestured for her not to cut the conversation...
"Sera just seemed to have explained it, but I just met her by chance when I helped distribute food downtown..."
I tried to tell him that it was just a baseless misunderstanding, but Kuuki Yomenai Ossan spoke about unnecessary things as expected...
"So Secilia dono aims for Sera, yes... "
"I already thought that you would definitely marry Karina's sister, since you have brought her here from Muno territory... "
"Toruma nii san, are you telling the truth...?"
"Un? That's mostly true... "
Toruma san, please refrain from speaking statements that will create misunderstandings...
He drew a thin sword and approached me...
"Sorry is useless..."
"I will defeat you all to improve your character... "
"Or, is the sword on your waist just a decoration...?"
It's ornate...
He would be angry if I said that...
He was angry even though I didn't say it...
Tiane smirked with a laugh and said,“Get him ~?”, No responsibility to drive him away. Hayuna san looked troubled even though she did not really understand the situation...
At a time like this, Karina the same who was usually the fastest made the fight even quiet...
I think he's still meek, but he looks grim for a reason...
He muttered,“Ringrande? Cousin Rin? It was the genius magician who became the hero's maid?” with low voice...
I prefer him the usual, “It's a fight desuwa.”, Than him like this...
There seems to be some kind of dispute between them, so I won't involve myself with it..
"I understand, I may not be enough, but please train me well... "
There's no choice..
Maybe he also taught me how to fight..
I have also been scorned by the demon lord, so this is appropriate...
While walking to the courtyard where he was standing, I pulled out the fairy sword, miss Ringrande, Hayuna-san and the others, took a breath...
I wonder who said,“Cantik.”...
I did not put magic power into the fairy sword and used it in a light state...
Miss Ringrande pierced with her thin sword without any preparation...
This course is for my cheeks...
Quick stabs as expected of a thin sword...
I prepared a fairy sword with a low attitude to fend off the attack...
Before the thin sword touched the fairy sword, he pulled and held it and when I swung the fairy sword upwards, he pushed the thin sword into my chest that was defenseless...
Wait, miss Ringrande? It's going straight to my heart, you know?
I thought that she would stop before hitting, but she looked like she thought that the insects that were following Miss Sera around should be dead, terrifying...
I pulled out a short stick with my other hand that did not hold the fairy sword to fend off the thin sword...
Of course, the short stick would be easy to cut, if it deflected the thin sword, but as if seeing it as a dagger as I moved it in an instant, Ringrande retracted his thin sword and opened some distance....
"Fumu, you're pretty good. It looks like mithril sword is not just for show... "
"You pretend to be an amateur by letting your eyes look all over the place properly... "
"I don't think that you've prepared your next move before... "
I get it, my line of sight, yeah...
I don't think so...
After that, I learned how to use my line of sight to pretend, breath-reading and many other techniques not covered in the skill...
Misunderstandings are good sometimes...
I could easily crush his sword with a snap of a finger, but it would make matters even more complicated, so I held back...
"Hoo, who they called the Silver Valkyrie from the Battle field was playing together with a child...?"
The people who were interfering with the swordsman ship class missRingrande were three knights wearing white armor...
They were subordinates of the Shiga kingdom king, the holy knights as well as the old men, and the cute yet handsome young man had the title of [Shiga Eight Sword]...
That cute handsome young man was named Sharlick Shiga...
Third prince of Shiga kingdom...
By the way, with the kids, what do I mean...?
"Prince Sharlick, isn't it impolite to intrude on someone else's home even if he's your retainer...?"
"Ringrande... "
"Heya. the younger brother of Viscount Shimen..."
"Torum... Her Highness... "
Toruma added, the prince hesitated...
Toruma san can read this kind of atmosphere, yes...
In a way, he really was like a Noble...
Without looking excited, the prince said, “Sorry to interrupt.”, And Toruma also allowed it as it was natural...
Nevertheless, I know that he has business with Miss Ringrande, but what are these people coming here for...
"I have some business with Ringrande... "
"You, move... "
He said it like a request, but it was an order...
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but this is my home, and he is my cousin... "
"Even if you are His Majesty, it would be best if you are not alone with an unmarried woman..."
"Fuhn, what's wrong with being with a fiance alone..."
"Our engagement was supposed to be cancelled seven years ago..."
Then, I want to get away from this complicated place, I wonder what I should do...
I thought about playing with him at my playground, but I expressed that intention, because dealing with the King properly was troublesome...
The holy knight boy who had looked like a brat since earlier drew his sword and came to me while slashing...
What's wrong with this guy? Is his head okay...?
His running speed was fast, but compared to miss Ringrande, his sword was full of holes...
"Ohh... You pointed your sword in front of His Majesty, it's fine to call you a rebel, right... ?"
What kind of logic is that...
Bad false accusations, split hair...
Since he used a mithril alloy sword known for its hardness, I dodged his attack without fending off with a fairy sword...
However, the boy continued to attack relentlessly...
Is he a battle maniac... ?
"Oiy... That mithril sword is not just for show... "
"Aha... Can you fend this off...?"
The boy unleashed a tornado-like streak attack technique...
Is this a fighting game...
I would look too suspicious if I avoided it, so I accepted it with my sword and pretended to be blown back...
Miss Karina and Hayuna san called my name with worry....
Lina and Tiane might understand because my health is not declining, even without me activating self-defense...
They really believe me...
Miss Karina actually jumped up with Raka's strength and hugged me...
"Hee... You can use physical reinforcement as well...?"
"If you take his sword, I'll be your opponent, you know..?"
I stopped Miss Karina's hand from taking my sword...
He can't win...
"You can't, Karin is the same... "
Meanwhile, Toruma tried his best to stop the prince...
He's strong-willed, but hard-working...
"Your Majesty, he is a retainer of Baronet Muno and a Noble who holds the title of Noble..."
"Can you stop that guy over there...?"
"Hou.. serving that cursed territory, he must have gone mad... "
Huh...
I was a little angry from the word...
I might like the nature of Baronet Muno and his retainer if I say so myself...
Tiane and Lina looked quite offended, but as expected, the opponent was too bad, they could not intervene...
"Ara... have you ever eaten a sword before...?"
"I will not forgive you for insulting our territory, even if you are a prince..."
"I will make you eat your own flesh, even if this kingdom has to sacrifice its entire kingdom... "
"Fuhn... are you trying to get the attention of that child and join the noble rank...?"
"Women should obediently stay at home raising the children you have borne..."
"It looks like Secilia san is about to start again... "
"Well, it might be more stressful than usual... "
"Maybe, we just wait for the fate of him and his kingdom... "
"Hey. Stop talking weird... "
"Ohh, you don't know apparently, if Secilia had spoken like that, then she would not hesitate to destroy anything that made her upset... "
"Has he always been like that... "
"Well... Secilia san is not always like that, He is the type of person who will repay the good with more good and repay the evil with evil... "
"He's dangerous... "
"Well... we have often seen Him as very kind to people who are friendly and polite and He will be very evil when he sees people who commit crimes and He will not hesitate to torture him until he dies and in some cases, there are criminals that He tortured to death and revived continuously... "
"What resurrection magic is... "
"Who knows, it is His desire, then surely it will happen... "
Miss Karina has told me that she has never participated in a top-level society though, so maybe that's why she doesn't know her...
It seemed like she thought that she was the wife or mistress of the retainer of Baronet Muno, in other words, a worthless noble, not her daughter...
That's depressing...
"I am the second daughter of Baronet Muno, Karina, desuwa... "
"There's no reason to treat me like a maid, you know...?"
Miss Karina stood in front of the prince while she placed her hands on his waist, firmly facing forward and looking at him...
I stood up while patting the head that fell on the ground...
The opponent is a prince, the right thing to do here is kill all the witnesses and targets...
"I can't remain silent because my master's house is insulted... "
"Even if you are a prince, I will ask you to retract your previous words... "
Huh..
Although the right thing to do is to wait carefully...
I stood up and mocked her a little with Miss Karina and said such words...
At a minimum, I was wise enough to leave the sword in its sheath...
I'm sure it will be the target of punishment if I aim my sword at the royal family...
If that happens, I will destroy the whole kingdom and its history, memory and all its inhabitants...
"Karina dono... our win percentage is without zero limit, mengert...?"
"Raka san, there are times when a woman can't back down... "
Both are heating up...?
However, you don't have to face him physically because he's a royal family, okay...
"As usual, you think women are just tools for childbearing..."
Miss Ringrande said it in a voice trembling with anger while cutting herself between miss Karina and the prince...
Toruma came and patted Karina on the shoulder...
Feet shaking...
He really forced himself...
"Your Majesty, the person you have falsely accused is the hero of Muno city's defensive war... "
"In addition, he defeated the demon that appeared in the city of Gururian and currently lives in the capital of the Dukedom as the guest of honor of Duke Oyugock and he is the third son of Duke Warfargen... "
"Your Majesty, I think it will trouble people there... "
It's a good thing that the latter isn't too obvious, then I'll be safe from the troublesome...
Diverting the blame from the prince to the battle maniac boys...
The prince will not back down if he is criticised...
"Fuhn. there's no choice, I guess I'll leave it here..."
"It would be troublesome if the available troops decreased before the demon lord woke up... "
"All right, so is Toruma..?"
"The only capital is the royal capital... "
"Calling the city of Oyugock as the capital is blasphemy... "
The prince left while chiding like farewell...
I don't think that Toruma will be the one to restore peace in this place...
Nevertheless, I was worried by the way the prince spoke as if a demon lord would be revived here for sure...
Don't tell me, the mastermind behind [Wings of Liberty] isn't the third prince, is it...?
"Will the prince participate in the martial arts tournament...?"
"No, it's not that you did well after getting the attack..."
"I have magic potion in my pocket at the right time... "
I waved an empty bottle to trick him...
Toruma answered my question...
"I think His Majesty will be attending the wedding ceremony of Rin's younger brother, Tisrad, which will be held after the tournament ends... "
Tisrad was the grandson of Duke Oyugock, it seemed like he was going to marry the daughter of Marquis Elett...
The next duke will be the father of Miss Ringrande and the next one after that seems to be Tisrad's turn...
It seems that he has also come home to attend this wedding...
"Also there are rumors that His Majesty will also attend this ceremony... "
"Toruma nii san, it's a secret matter..."
"Please don't spread it too much... "
However, its development went by leaps and bounds...
The problem solved was, [The third prince, Shalrick, wanted to make Miss Ringrande a bride.], [Miss Ringrande didn't want that.], [Miss Ringrande's younger sister is getting married], I guess...
The uncertain things were, [The King may have come for the wedding ceremony.], [The third prince and his friends may be convinced that a demon lord will appear in the capital of the Dukedom.]..
It would be troublesome, if a different demon lord appeared during the wedding ceremony...
When I was about to leave the Toruma residence, Miss Ringrande called me...
"You're better than I thought..."
"And it's not that your clothes are too revealing... "
"Ohh... "
"Come to the castle if you want to become stronger... "
"I'll teach you some lessons while I'm in the Dukedom capital..."
I'd love to accept the lesson, but I hate doing it in such a conspicuous place as a castle...
"I'll say this just in case, it's not like I've accepted your relationship with Sera, understand...?"
Like I said, it was a misunderstanding...
When I was tired of telling him that it was“Misunderstanding”, he was angry instead, “What makes you dissatisfied with Sera”. What an incoherent person...
"I won't forgive him... "
"That's true..."
"It's good that he's the third prince..."
"You're right, it's a silver lining... "
It seems like mad Miss Karina could not understand the words of Lina, Tiane and my words.
"Will, if it were to become King in this era, it would be difficult to live in this kingdom... "
"When that happened, I had no choice but to move to Saga Empire... "
To help boost Ms. Karina's mood a bit, we joked for a bit...
"K.. you can't, the.desuwa..."
"Secilia is the father's retainer, so you can't leave..."
Miss Karina pressed me as if shaken, speaking with concern...
We've had a conversation in the courtyard of Earl Walgock's mansion
In the afternoon today, I got a nagging Miss Karina and her maid about the matter with the prince...
Someone from the maid trope had brought the liquor so I made Lina and the others leave...
I don't want to repeat that tragedy again...
The two young maids collapsed, they slept on my lap...
Miss Karina's look was scary...
"That's right... Chevalier was supposed to make rice porridge for me..."
This is why drunkards...
Pina just said what they wanted to say...
He probably won't remember what they said to themselves tomorrow...
Raka wisely remained silent...
Let's make rice porridge as the main menu for breakfast tomorrow...
