Chapter 280: The Chief of the “Red Cats”, and the Curse Removal (2/2)

「If he’s a tyrant, ill snatch it without batting an eyelid」(Est)

「What’s with that? Do we have to gather inforain?」(Nia)

Badan! Nia falls prostate on top of the desk in the strategy room

「If Orichalcum is what you need, I have sohts, the prostrating Nia jumps from her desk and stares at old?」(Nia)

「I do Look」(Touya)

Opening “Storage”, I then take out an Orichalcuineer Erka takes it in her hands, takes out a pole-looking object fro it for some reason Sancho-san had the saic artifact that can identify the coenuine It’s h … Could it be that you also have so of those two, I have them, but the amount is lower Well, I have some at the least」(Touya)

Saots froineer Erka then confir with her examination

「Touya-san, it may sound impolite, but hoould you like to sell these to us? We’ll pay a proper, reasonable price for the major if I sell this much」(Touya)

「Hey, whose rich noble’s son are you…?」(Nia)

No, I’ auously

「Anyway, I’ll now be able to repair “Rouge” with this If I have a day for it——— 」(Erka)

「I-It’s terrible!」

The door being guarded by the arle man enters inside the rooh, and he’s sweating profusely It looks like he ran toward here with all his ht

「The hideout in the northern ht Order are heading toward that place in huge numbers…!」

「WHAT?!」(Nia)

「We have dispatched a ht…?」(Est)

The expression on the standing Nia’s face changed It looks like the inforhold she talked about was leaked

「dae cannot be used… We should be able to rescue theane… What should we do, Est?」(Nia)

「I wonder if we can ht now… Our best option is to get away from here and abandon the other side, but… 」(Est)

「As if we can do that! The “Red Cats” do not abandon their comrades!」(Nia)

DANN! Nia strikes the desk So she thinks of them as her comrades She won’t deserve the position as their chief if she doesn’t think about them by this much as the bare minimum

「Should I lend a hand?」(Touya)

「Ah?!」(Nia)

Don’t glare atfrom

「Map Display The outskirts of the capital Alen」(Touya)

『Displaying』

「Uooo?!」(Nia)

Looking at theprojected in the air, Nia’s group leaks out surprised voices

H displayed are only those that I’ve seen when I was co here with “Fly” In case of the Surface World (the other side), it was Kami-sama who filled up the map foragain Can’t be helped

「I can use Transfer Magic, which allows me to instantly travel to the places I have been to, at least once It’s o to any place, except for those currently being displayed on thisthat you can instantly teleport to the place if it’s on this map? How many people can you take with you?」(Est)

「It’s probably safe to say that I can take any number of people I’ve also happened to transfer more than a hundred people at the saather all members currently in here into the exit! Prepare for battle!」(Est)

「りっ、了解っス！」

「R-Roger!」(Yuni)

Yuni reacts to the voice of Sub-Chief Est-san and starts running toward the passage leading from the entrance door and outside in hot haste

「You really can do anything, don’t you?… Are you not a “Crown” of the pseudo-huolem referred to as the “Crown Series” They are ancient acy, who possess unique abilities, which are cut out above the rest It’s one of the goleineer Erka gives ole at this piece of info, Est-san follows up on that knowledge

「As a e”, is one of those “Crowns” as well, but it was rendered unmovable after the battle with another “Crown”」(Est)

「A surprise attack disabled o down next tiet it, but it looks like this issue she’s talking about is a private quarrel

I would like to take a look at this “Crown” thing for a bit, but now is not the ti that

「Sub-chief! All members are asseh the door and shouts Responding to her, Est-san faces the passage once again There are ts of “Red Cats”for orders

「First division will be on standby here! Second division will go along with us to save our fortress! We will be ic, so make sure you are ready to start the battle i returned to the strategy rooazes at the projected map and points at a certain spot

「Can you transfer us in this location of this northern roup over there and the ones here going to be the ones going with us?」(Touya)

Based on the discussion fro with Chief Nia, Subchief Est, Yuri, Yuni, Engineer Erka, and the goleht?

「No, ill have both Professor and Fenrir re, I would also like for Nia to remain here as well, but…」(Est)

「I will absolutely go」(Nia)

Says Nia while breathing roughly and while tightly grasping her fists

「I don’t believe that you without your Rouge will be of any use though」(Est)

「So harsh?! I AM useful, ain’t I?! I ae!」(Nia)

Are you really though? You look delicate Oh well, it should be fine to lend a helping hand once things get dangerous, but I don’t really want to be treated as a co a wanted h it’ll be fine to just go and escape to the Surface World, but gaining a negative reputation here is so that I don’t want to happen Guess I have no other choice but to ensure that I won’t be recognized by other people

Speaking of which, I also can’t siin with If only I could allow the e by skillfully ht Order… Hm, isn’t that possible?

「Map display Color the ht Order in blue, and the Red Cats in red」(Touya)

『Displaying』

「Uoo! What are those markers?」(Nia)

Nia looked surprised at red and blue hold in the forest The red dots are being encircled by a swarm of blue dots bit by bit

「The blue ones are ht Order, and Red ones are “Red Cats” It looks like the battle has yet to start, but it see encircled Should I do it then since the situation has beco about?」(Est)

I give a rough reply to Est-san

「Say, is it okay to abandon this fortress if it ensures the safety of the people inside? In the first place, aren’t you planning to eventually leave that area?」(Touya)

「Eh? Yeah, it will be bad if certain things become exposed one way or another, but we aren’t too obsessed about it What do you plan on doing?」(Est)

「I’ to enter that place and directly transfer everyif it’s fine to completely destroy that fortress」(Touya)

That will easily finish everything without fighting against the Knight Order I wonder why I haven’t thought about thisa predisposition to settle issues like this with a fight Lately, I’ve been using nothing but brute force to settle the proble like that?」(Est)

「That’s easy However, I want so with me and explain the situation to the people over there because I don’t think they’ll believe what I say 」(Touya)

「I WILL GO!」(Nia)

Nia raises her hand first I have no objections with the chief coive a scattered look at Est-san, she breathes out a long, deep sigh and gives an order to the goleo with Nia I order you to guard this girl」(Est)

GIGI! The red-armored warrior nods Is he different from Fenrir wherein unlike Fenrir, he can’t speak? Or is he just reluctant to do so? Maybe it’s just norolems not to speak

Oh well, it’s fine either way Besides, it’s better to hurry up if ant to settle everything right away It’ll be troublesome to execute our plan once the battle starts

「Gate」(Touya)

Fro the spectacle in front of her, Akagane slowly and steadily goes through the opened “Gate” in thecautious in order to ascertain the safety of the gate? Following after behind the goleht as well

「Well then, we’re going off now We’ll be sure to rescue everyone immediately」(Touya)

「Thank you veryoff the bowing Est-san, and I findaround restlessly, and so does Akagane He keeps vigilance of the surroundings

「Well then, which way is the direction to the fortress?」(Touya)

「Ah, aah It’s this way」(Nia)

We walk through the forest as Nia guides us After advancing for a short while, Nia points at the mountain side

「Look It’s over there, and it should be visible from here」(Nia)

「Eh?」(Touya)

I could see nothing but mountain trees in the place Nia points at Once I expandSense”, I then notice that a fortress has certainly been built fro-house, hidden in between the trees Aah, so they are ca the fortress in this lance

Or rather, it should be invisible froht, I’ll be able to jump there at once since I can now accurately see the place Let’s go 」(Touya)

「Ah?」(Nia)

「Teleport」(Touya)

Holding the arane, I immediately teleport toward the roo-house

(Black: The author really loves to repeat a lot of things, huh? It’s not like readers have short-ter area unsheathe their weapons due to our sudden appearance, but then they relaxed their guard once they notice so here?!」

「Oh, ooh Is everyone safe?」

Although she is surprised at the sudden change in a scenery, Nia greets everyone present here The members, who remained inside the fortress, co her voice

「Gather everyone quickly EVERYONE We’re escaping from here This place will be abandoned」(Nia)

By the order of the chief, everyone jumps into the newly opened “Gate” one after another

Excluding Nia and Akagane, they transfer into the hideout beneath the royal capital Just in case, I confir in to approach this place

「Oops The Knights Order began to ht in whatever we’re going to do? Nia and Akagane, return to Est-san This is the part where we must separate」(Touya)

「”Separate” you say? What’s the s that I have to do, you see And tomorrow, I have to return home I’ll ask for the reward for today the next ti on you at that tiht coth The “Red Cats” see them a favor is by no means a loss

「… Got it Thanks! You’ve helped us a lot! Next tiolem It’s sooo cool, you know!」(Nia)

「That will be a pleasure Then I’ll also show youboarded and piloted by a person」(Touya)

「Hahaa! What the heck is that?」(Nia)

Nia laughed She probably assu a unit to this world had I stored one in “Storage” beforehand The fraear would’ve likely caused an uproar if it has been seen

「See ya then Teach ain, Touya」(Nia)

「Yeah See you later Give ane pass through the “Gate”, getting transferred right away Well then Should I wrap things up in here? Though I feel that destroying this fortress is a waste

I cae myself with “Invisible” and soar into the sky with “Fly” Watching over the now-deserted fortress below ic

「O fire burst forth, exploding blaze of purgatory Mega explosion」(Touya)

A huge explosion is produced along with a thunderous roar, blowing the fortress to sh A part of the ets blown off as well Did I overdo it?

The surrounding knights became noisy and swarmed the site of the demolished fortress Well, there are no dead bodies there, so the fact that all roup have already fled should be obvious

=== === === === === ===

I’ve surely ended up taking quite a detour, eh? Still, that, in itself, has been a productive diversion froinal intention in this world

A robot-like machine that old man Palerius wrote in his notebook There’s no olems, which had been created in this world, crossed over froh some unknown means They then arrived at the other… to our world It was during that time that old man Palerius had met them Could it be that soht’ve been taught to hi” It doesn’t sound ioleoleic-like abilities Moreover, the types called “Crown” seeeous abilities

assuo and repaired the world barrier, then…

「Right now, it’s nothingdark For starters, I should do things I can do before thearrives

I land down in themyself for a bit fro up a su circle, I then call upon thousands of birds, who are under contract with me, and send them into the sky They are summoned to supplement my map data and to find a suitable location that people in this world don’t approach

I have to find place where we can build a dih I think that the coverage of my search won’t expand by a lot since it’s only until the ht do the trick if I apply a barrier similar to the one on Palerius Island However, it won’t be safe fro of anomaly produced by the barrier as some sort of problem It will certainly be safer to construct it not close to a city but on a boundary between aset loose the birds, I start soaring for the ti as to where I’o Eventually, the veil of darkness descends, and everything in the vicinity becoht, but my field of view remains wide as it was Is this also an effect to myself caused by ht on the street to the opposite side ofthat I “can see” those… Isn’t it that I’ on…?」 (Touya)

Sparkle A swirl of shi+ning neon light being fired co it painful forat now? It could be mistaken by someone for an amusement park

「Casi— no… Casino? It is a Casino」(Touya)

The giant letters written on a signboard confirm my suspicions It other words, it’s a casino city

Well then, what shall I do? I don’t have experience in ga I’m minor, so of course it’s natural There aren’t that many laws in this different world, so perhaps I should say that I didn’t have a chance to si

It’s not like I don’t have no interest in it or anything What I e interest in it

I have a leeway in terht?

「Alright, should I give it a try?!」(Touya)

Withwith expectations, I set foot in the casino city

=== === === === === ===

「… Gaa, and I’ve ended up penniless in the end

I definitely could’ve done soic, but it was impossible to behave sneakily in a place like that, as expected The end result is the sorry state I aaed to win that one tiainmy loss even further didn’t stop

“Haa” I breathe out a sigh

「In the h the divine realive Kami-sama his souvenir」(Touya)

I then open a “Gate” to the divine realm in order to return to my former world
