Chapter 1 E 21 (Surprise Attack)
-Days 6th to 7th after being summoned to different world- (Surprise Attack)
Two visitors come to the tent where Ryouma put under watch.
”Ya~ I'm sorry for making you wait. My boss wants to meet you; personally, you see. ”
Sardina stands beside the person called Saitou.
”I see. So you're the leader-san? ”
Listening to Ryouma's words, the two people looked surprised.
”Oh, my? Why do you think I'm the leader? One can be given an authority even without being the leader you know?”
”Eh? Well, actually I'm just guessing. After all, I heard that imperial princess Sardina had blockade Adelpho town. And I meet the Succubus Night that the imperial princess Sardina leads, everyone can easily guess if it's like this. ”
”I see. Indeed if one's thought of it like that, it would be easy to know huh...”
Even though Sardina also feeling consent with the answer just like Saitou had said, some feeling of discomfort still lingering.
Certainly, such an answer can be derived easily when one's think about it calmly.
However, does a person usually capable of thinking like that while under detention?
(I see... Just like what Saitou had said huh... Indeed this gives me a little bit of disturbed feeling...)
Saitou eyes turned toward Sardina.
(What do you think?)
Saitou eyes seem to have indicated as such.
Understanding that, Sardina began to talk toward Ryouma.
”Thank you for sparing your time. On behalf of the Empire, I would like to express my grat.i.tude. ”
Even for this world commoner, those words are considerably polite coming from the Imperial princess.
”Oh no no. You don't have to mind it. It's certainly suspicious for not using the highway after all. ”
Smiles appeared on the face of the two people after hearing Ryouma answer.
”Just as I thought. Your Highness. ”
”Indeed. It's confirmed. ”
The two people nodded to each other.
”Finally I found you! Other worlder-san. ”
”What kind of a joke is that?”
Hearing his words, however, Sardina merely answers Ryouma's words calmly.
”Don't waste your energy. In this world, a commoner would speak as politely as possible when they face against Imperial family, and no one would speak however they like. ”
When Ryouma heard Saitou's words, his face expression changed.
It was natural for this event to happen.
After all, in this world, a monarch or n.o.ble can be regarded as equal to G.o.d.
If Ryouma wants to pretend that he's from this world, then he should put his head on the ground.
”Fuun~... I see. I guess I've failed eh? ”
Judging that he cannot escape from it, he admits easily.
”Well, we at least understood each other position now. ”
After Saitou had said such words, Sardina nodded her head and began to talk.
”I guess, I should say, pleased to meet you first, isn't it? As you had guessed, I am Ortomea Empire first imperial princess Sardina Aizenhaid. And your name is? O other worlder-san.”
”Me? Mikos.h.i.+ba. Mikos.h.i.+ba Ryouma. ”
Ryouma answered Sardina's question calmly.
”I see. Just as I thought a j.a.panese person huh? ”
”Well, looking at you, aren't you also a j.a.penese person? Saitou-san yo?”
Saitou gently nodded his head.
”Indeed. I'm in the same situation as you do. I had been summoned to this world approximately ten years ago. ”
”Hee? You're able to reach the position of deputy leader in just ten years huh?” <tln: in=”” case=”” i=”” confuse=”” you=”” in=”” the=”” future,=”” where=”” i=”” uses=”” vice=”” leader deputy=”” leader adjutant=”” for=”” his=”” t.i.tle,=”” and=”” seems=”” inconsistent,=”” well=”” the=”” author=”” wrote=”” it=”” that=”” way=””>
A bitter smile appears on Saitou's face.
”Well, I guess it was just some good luck. After all, there's also those big merits for being an other-world person. ”
”Are you talking about the absorbing power ability they have?”
Toward Ryouma's question, Saitou opened his eyes wide.
”Hou, you are able to understand that much huh? That really surprise me...”
”Oh please. It's just something I get from s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g(torturing) that old man who had summoned me. I got various information too you see. ”
A cold-blooded smile appears on Ryouma's face.
”Is that so? As expected, I've heard that the corpse damage was quite terrible, you'd tortured Gaies huh?”
Anger can be felt mixed within Sardina's tone of voice.
”Gaies? If that Gaies person is the old man who had summoned me then yes I guess? I admit it. ”
Ryouma acknowledged the truth about the torture easily.
After all, for him, he thought that there's no point in hiding it.
”Although it's unfortunate, I will have you to die. My Empire can't use someone rebellious like you. ”
Toward Sardina's words, Ryouma shows a bewildered expression.
”Unfortunate? What are you feeling unfortunate for?”
”I have a high value for a person like you. Being thrown into an unfamiliar environment of another world, without knowing left and right, yet capable of escaping toward the border from the imperial capital. Even with just that, I can understand you have an unusual power. If a person with such power and wisdom were to join our country, then it would make western continent unification remarkably easier. ”
Hearing Sardina's statement Ryouma smiled and laughed.
”Please stop joking. Me helping you guys? Please stop spouting such stupid things. ”
”A stupid things?”
”Yes. I'm not some sort of protagonist of a heroic story, why would I want to be used by you?”
