Arc 27: The Reverse World

Chapter 282: The Discussion, and the Paluf Kingdo, Touya-san」(Yu here?」(Touya)

As I wake up on the bed inthe futon I’ under

「…If I’m not mistaken, I’ve made sure to lock-up the room from inside, haven’t I?」(Touya)

「I’ve unlocked it Just like this, it was a piece of cake」(Yumina)

“Unlocked it”, you say… “How can you do so like that?!” I ask a reasonable question to which Yuelic s deal

「It’s one of my seven special skills, after all」(Yumina)

That’s not an acceptable answer, you know?! What the hell! What are the other six?

I don’t really irl that I like, but that’s still bad for my heart To make the matter worse, Yumina also looks defenceless in her pajamas, which makes it bad for my heart even further than before

It’s already been two years since we’vein all sorts of ways I believe that she has become more feminine physically since back then, but unbelievable aspects of her like this don’t change even now

Although she’s like that, she’s already 14 years old now, so I want her to hold back on her antics like this one right now

「I’ve already satisfied h for et inside my rooh For the tie o to the training field where I find Yae, Hilda, and Elzie training and blending in with everyone froht Order same as usual

Since I didn’t see Luu anywhere here, she’s probablythe breakfast today If that’s the case, then ourforward to it

「Yaa hello, Touya-kun Sorry for the short notice, butpartner? 」(Moroha)

When I try greeting everyone a good ht by Moroha-nee-san, who had creeped up froent

「… No probleo easy on me Okay?」(Touya)

「Is there really a need to do so? Oh well We’ll spar without eithereach other, we then clash with our wooden swords after the signal given by Elzie, who volunteered to be the referee Although we’re wooden swords, they’ve been enchanted with resilience that increased their durability Otherwise, this first attack would’ve broken them into pieces

Naturally, they can break bones if one gets hit However, I don’t believe that neither Nee-san or I will receive that s are painful, so I still don’t want to get hit

「Dooo?!」(Touya)

I got my feet swiped due to a surprise attack A sharp thrust is then sent flying tobackward since my balance was broken Nee-san didn’t waste asideways in a hurry, I parry the strike, juain stand on the ground That was dangerous!

Goddamnit! I did say “Go easy onrip the handle of ain

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

『Lord, are you alright?』(Kohaku)

「Ye-e-ep…」(Touya)

Being repeatedly poked at by Kohaku, I bear the pain aching all overeasy on me at all… Her name of “Sword Goddess” isn’t just for show

I cast “Healing” and “Refresh” on my body and stand up at once Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to er

As for Moroha-nee-san, she has quickly found her next prey and is leading the training right now

Oh-my, oh-my I’ve really moved around excessively before breakfast

Once I arrive at the dining rooht away, I find Linzie, Luu, and Rin, who’s half asleep, having theirs

All of us have a lot things we do by ourselves, so the tiether are too few and far in between When it coether with Fiana-san, her mother, about half the tiht, in japanese style prepared by Luu In addition to rice, ht at the dungeon islands, there are also fried eggs, chopped burdock root, cold tofu, and pickled vegetables with turnip

“Is Luu ai one around, asked the people from Ishen about their various cuisines and polished her skills Though itis that good

Having finished breakfast, I now proceed to handle my official duties when my s call The caller is… Hht King of Restia?

「Yes, hello?」(Touya)

『Ooh! His Majesty The Dukedo Sorry to bother you I would like to consult with you about so of Rynie』(Reinhardt)

「The King of Rynie?」(Toua)

Reinhardt-onii-san, who’s the Knight King of the Knight Kingdo of Rynie, are close friends, which is likely due to theinally, Cloud had few people in his life whom he could call a friend because of hoas oppressed by the sham-prince Zabun As for Reinhardt, he probably didn’t have many companions — because of his position as a prince — hom he could associate in a relaxed matter It can be said that it was natural for two people, who have similar personalities, to become friends

I wonder what happened for Reinhardt to consultehis friend?

「I will have a break in about 10 minutes and coates of the Restia Castle」(Touya)

『Got it I will be waiting』(Reinhardt)

Hanging the call, I then put the documents in order and let Kousaka-san know about my next destination I wondered if I should invite Hilda to coo alone in the end because it looks like the talk is aboutof Rynie

I transfer using “Gate” to the entrance of the Restia Castle, and see two of the Restia knights there already waiting for uided by them, I walk inside and arrive at the roo me then respectfully opens the door

「Oya, I a you here I didn’t knohom I could consult with to this matter」(Reinhardt)

Reinhardt stands up fro that he expressly called me here, I surmised that the talk was likely a serious one, and it would’ve been better to talk about it personally instead of doing it over the phone

Being encouraged by Reinhardt, I then sit down on the sofa facing hi of Restia then faces me and starts to talk about this consultation he would like me to help him with

「You are probably aware that Rynie and Paluf were just one step before going into war before, right?」(Reinhardt)

「Aah It was due to the schemes of Wardok, the former prierous, the King of Rynie shi+fted the policy towards a friendly route after he assumed the throne Is the current policy of Rynie, by chance, being avoided in soest island of the Surface World is located to the northwest of the continent, the Parunie island It’s divided into two countries with Paluf in the north and Rynie in the south Those two countries have been doing s tiued with bad harvest due to the ie done by the cold weather Furthermore, the country piled up one overn and the pri at this country while it was in this weakened state, Wardok, the pri to start a ith Paluf

Thanks to our last-minute intervention, Wardok was overthrown, and the as avoided Afterwards, the new King of Rynie, Cloud, was supposed to deepen the relations with Paluf through a friendly route

「The relations with Paluf are , his son was crowned as the king, which has settled down their do well However, there’s a bit of a problem… 」(Reinhardt)

「A proble of Paluf has two children, you see One is Princess Lucienna Dia Paluf, and the other is her younger brother, Prince Ernest Din Paluf That elder sister of his, Lucienna, and the King of Rynie are getting along pretty well There are good vibes between them」(Reinhardt)

「Ho-ho Oh- has finally arrived for Cloud as well, huh? It sure took a long while since the time when he was followed around by that foolish (shaet his disastrous youth with no freedohly enjoy a youth filled with dreams and love

However, what’s the proble about?

「It’s regarding the aforementioned Prince Ernest It’s obvious that it’s the prince ill be inheriting the throne, but he’s still a ten-year-old child, you see He’s currently being supported by the younger brother of the late king and the surrounding chief vassals, but he’s still a child who has a long road ahead of hihtly to his elder sister」(Reinhardt)

「Aha! So he dislikes the King of Rynie, who’s probably going to take his sister away?」(Touya)
