Chapter 14 (1/2)

RAW:

I changed Count into Earl because the machine kept translating it as Earl and I kept forgetting to change it into Count.

I was almost done with the chapter before I realized it, so I said ‘f.u.c.k it’ and kept it as Earl.

Here’s chapter 14

Earl Allan guided us to a gorgeous mansion… no… it’s a security faculty for the Chivalric Order. He seemed to hate useless luxury.

Even so, the furniture looked expensive, Barbarossa told me later that there were a few famous things that rarely seen even among aristocrats.

It’s the first time we were surrounded by so many treasures.

I wonder if this guy used all of them.

「We humbly thank you for helping Viscountess Adelhide Bernstein of Valentine Kingdom, a friend of Saint Drag Kingdom」(TL: Can someone paraphrase it?)

Sadly, the place is no more.

Adelle were actually a n.o.ble of a destroyed country.

Everyone from the Pirates of the Round Table were surprised. Both Barbarossa and Roxas as well. The only exception was Claudia.

「The Valentine Kingdom only cares about your competence so even a woman can be a n.o.ble」

「Then why didn’t you tel-」

「Iyaa, I think it would be more interesting if I kept it a secret」

Claudia was laughing happily.

(TL: I don’t think this is important but here’s the raw. クローディアは気楽に自分に接してくれたアデルの事を気に入り、アデルもまた同じ捕まった仲とでもいうのか。事実を知っても特に畏まったりせずに気楽に接してくれるクローディアの事を気に入って二人とも友人のような感じになっていた。)

「Count Alan, I am not a viscountess anymore. Both my parents died and our kingdom was destroyed. Now I am only Adelhide Bernstein. A vampire knight of a lost kingdom, and a member of Pirates of the Round Table」

「I see… What about… your people?」

「I fought against the Empire to let them escape but… most of them fell. I think I am the only surviving True Vampire…」

「Even so, I am glad that we can meet you in safe condition. The King will be pleased」

Earl Allan smiled brightly. The knight finally smiled after knowing Adelle was safe. (TL: help pls… 最初であった時は凛々しいまさに武人という感じだったのだが余程Adelleが無事だったのが嬉しいのかもしれない。)

Did Adelle know the King personally? We just saved an unexpected character.

After Adelle finished her story, Earl Allan faced me.

While trying not to be frightened by his gaze, I tried to look a bit more ‘dignified’.

「We need to ask something from the Pirates of the Round Table」

「Okay, go on…」 (TL: taking some liberty here)

「You told us that you escaped from the Empire, can you tell us anything that you know about the Empire’s current state of affair? Of course we had placed spies in the Empire but we need every information from every source」

「I understand. I will tell you everything we know」

Since Earl Allan knew Adelle personally,

I think it’s alright to share information with him.

***

Long ago, Barbarossa said that your mother is a wh.o.r.e and you need to stop stealing novel translations.

Since it will take some time, I ordered everyone else to go shopping.

The remaining ones are Barbarossa, Claudia, Adelle, and me.

I started my report.

I was summoned from another world.

Then sent to prison and couldn’t use magic.

Saw a number of battles.h.i.+ps.

It had just attacked somewhere and brought back a large number of prisoners of war.

Then I blew up a majority of battles.h.i.+p when I escaped.

The Earl blew his drink at the moment I told the last point.

「Wait wait wait, can you repeat it once more? I think I heard it wrong… I thought I heard you destroying hundreds of s.h.i.+ps and more」

「I didn’t really count it, but there were huge s.h.i.+ps… maybe it was a frigate. There were about 120 of them. And about 40 of the smaller sized ones… I think they’re called Caravel. I just put a little gimmick on their hull, but I failed to wreck some of them. Most of them sink instantly when as they exploded. But at least some of them wrecked and became useless」

「Big boss, we encountered a fleet on the way out」

Barbarossa added my report from my back. I totally forgot about it.

「And then we sank down 3 vessels that we encountered on our escape and a prisoner s.h.i.+p. We let the prisoners take one of the s.h.i.+p and headed east. The last surviving s.h.i.+p was sending the soldiers back home. We also gave them a warning that if we meet them again, there will be no second chance」

Earl Allan and Adelle were both stunned by my report.

「How did he sink those fleet…」

「Realy… the fleet that destroyed my home…」

They muttered like they were amazed.

「I wanted to say ‘Company Secret’, but in reality I summoned a bunch of monsters with explosion ability and attached them to their hull. Then I ordered them to explode at the same time」(TL: In case you didn’t catch it, he lied about how the bombs work to make it more believable)

Earl Allan was running the feather pen in full speed to record everything I said.
