Volume 1 Chapter 6 (2/2)
”I'm not so sure about that”
Sanae floated in front of the boasting girl, poking at her
”Wh-what!? W-what did you just do!?”
Since Sanae suddenly appeared in front of her, the girl's face itching
”What? I was just poking you”
Sanae had easily passed through the barrier the girl had been boasting about
Although it could protect against any attacks, it seehosts out
”Good job, Sanae! Now restrain her!”
”Fine, fine You sure are bossy”
Sanae began depriving the girl of her freedom while she was still surprised
She gripped the heeist
”What are you doing!?”
”Who knohat someone like you will do if I let you be! In other words, Hissatsu Sanae-chan Tulip!”
Sanae lifted the edges of the girl's skirt
”Uh-what!?”
”Just relax!”
Sanae lifted the skirt up over the girl's head and wrapped it around like a drawstring purse
With her underwear exposed, she looked similar to a tulip, as Sanae had said
”Stop it, you boorish ruffian! I can't see anything!”
”No way~ If I stop, you'll just attack me”
The girl struggled, but Sanae's poas too strong, and she was unable to break free
”Kiriha-san”
”What is it, Koutarou?”
”I know ht now she just looks like an idiot”
”Agreed To think I'd see a bear there”
The tulip struggled ineffectually
It was a sight that invited laughter
Moreover, iirl's panties was a lovely bear One couldn't help but laugh at the situation
”If you give up, I'll let you go”
”There's no way the princess of the Holy Forthorthe Galactic Empire would bow her head to some primitive barbarians!”
”Then we'll just leave you like this”
”Grrr, you're just a Neanderthal!”
Sanae and the girl were bickering, and Sanae was currently winning
Meanwhile, Koutarou let out a sh of relief
”It looks like we'll at least be able to catch our breath”
”It's about time”
Kiriha shtly as she replied to Koutarou
However, the commotion was not about to stop, as the two had expected
”Fine! If you want it that way, I have plans of my own!”
”What? Are you still planning on doing so?”
”Blue Knight! Change the battle mode to final attack mode! Fire a limited Genesis Buster! Turn the area centered around me into mere atoms!”
”AUTHENTICATION IS REQUIRED FOR ACTIVATION OF THE FINAL ATTACK MODE AND THE USE OF THE GENESIS BUSTER”
”My naurada von Forthorthe!!”
”AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE CONFIRMED THE IDENtitY OF PRINCESS THEIAMILLIS THE ORDER HAS BEEN ACCEPTED AS YOU WISH, MY PRINCESS
The girl gave a complicated order, unlike before
Looking at that, Koutarou once again felt a chill run down his spine
”What are you planning on doing?”
”Don't ask such foolish questions, Neanderthal It's obviously an attack”
The tulip responded full of confidence
The girl was probably laughing, but Koutarou was unable to see her face
”An attack?”
However, nothing was happening in the roo above her shoulders remained motionless
”Nothing's happening”
”Fufufu! Wahahahaha, that's why you're a Neanderthal! Don't just assume that what you can see is all there is!”
The tulip shook left and right energetically
”Ehly 50 meters in the sky-ho!”
”What!?”
Receiving Kara, Kiriha jumped to the
She then opened it in a hurry and leaned her body out
Koutarou followed suit
”That's it!”
”What's that!?”
In the sky above Corona House, a black hole siirl's shoulders could be seen
Even though it was a starry night, that part of the sky was completely free of stars
A large cylindrical object peeked out of the hole
”Confir rapidly-ho!”
”Antimatter!? What are its measurements!?”
”Currently at 58 gra-ho!”
”Is that an antimatter cannon!? Is can do!?”
Kiriha turned to Tulip and shouted at her
Koutarou was able to understand the seriousness of the situation by looking at the nor like this
”Of course I know! It'll turn you Neanderthals into photons!”
Tulip laughed loudly at the panicking Kiriha
”Koutarou, what's antimatter?”
”Don't ask me That's Mackenzie's field of expertise”
Koutarou and Sanae were unable to understand the term
So the two just craned their necks without a care
”To put it si nuclear weapon”
Strictly speaking, the nuclear fission used in nuclear weapons is completely different from antimatter
However, the two release energy on an atomic level, so it was an appropriate explanation for the pair who didn't understand at all
”Nu-Nuclear!?”
”By nuclear you s that always appear interrible happens if they explode and leave behind a mushroom!?”
Because of that, Koutarou and Sanae could easily understand the situation and began panicking
”L-Let's run, Koutarou!”
”Y-Yeah!”
”It's no use! The antirams! No matter how fast you flee, you'll never be able to outrun it! What a pity!”
”So it's all over”
Kiriha's shoulders sluhed
She very clearly understood the power of over 100 grams of antimatter
”Don't give up! Do so, Kiriha!”
”What do we do!? What should I do!?”
Only aware that it was a powerful weapon, Koutarou and Sanae panicked and ran around Kiriha
”Petty tricks won't be able to stop this weapon! It's my victory!”
Tulip on the other hand was ecstatic Able to vent all of her resenthed loudly
Even the bear on her exposed panties looked like it was s to Koutarou
”There's nothing we can do Please give up, Koutarou, Sanae”
”Noooooooo! I don't want to dieeeeeeee!”
”You're already dead! Nuclear weapons and anti to you!”
”Oh yeah”
Realizing that norained her calm
”I'm sorry for your loss~”
”Hearing that froely pisses me off!”
”It's the privilege of being a ghost!”
Sanae turned to Koutarou and n
”You can't be so sure when it coht be so intense that the very fabric of space is distorted Even a ghost ht not be able to survive”
”Did you hear that, Sanae!? Even ghosts can die!”
”Don't rejoice, idiot!”
As Koutarou and the rest began falling into unrest and confusion, Tulip's bracelet coldly reported in
”THE GENERATION OF ANTIMATTER IS COMPLETE”
”Excellent! Start the firing procedures! And don't forget to recover me as you fire!”
”AS YOU WISH INITIALIZING FIRING PROCEDURES”
”Waaaa, they're firing! They're firing!”
”Nooooooooo! I don't want to die young!”
”An unexpected end to the surface invasion Although with this, there won't be a japan left to invade”
The laughing girl, the restless Koutarou, Sanae clinging onto Koutarou, the melancholy Kiriha, and the still unconscious Yurika, who had no grasp of the situation
The five people showed five different reactions as the time finally came
”ANTIMATTER HAS FINISHED GENERATING SAFETY RELEASED AWAITING ORDER TO FIRE, MY PRINCESS”
”Kukuku, and with this it's over! Genesis Buster, FI-”
However, as the girl was about to give the order to fire, another voice filled the roo her
”Please wait, Princess Theiamillis!”
”Ruth!?”
As the girl raised her voice in surprise, another person ca wall
It looked very sih walls
The person co a military uniform with a short skirt
She was taller than Tulip, at about the saht as Yurika
”H-hey, a person just cah the wall!”
”What are you so surprised for? Tulip cah the same way”
”Really, Kiriha-san?”
Koutarou hadn't seen Tulip come out
As he'd been busy exaht had suddenly been blocked
”Yes The first girl came out of the wall the same way and bumped into you”
Kiriha had already given up, but with the appearance of the other girl she had started recovering
”Your Highness! What is thethe Genesis Buster at this planet!?”
The new girl i at Tulip
”B-but, they werea fool of me!”
Tulip raised her objections, but her voice was completely different
”It looks like that girl came to stop Tulip”
”Really?”
Koutarou and Sanae watched the quarreling pair
Koutarou and the rest were unable to comprehend this unexpected development
”That doesn't mean you can destroy this entire planet! First of all, it violates the galactic treaty!”
”Sanae, it seeh power to destroy the planet”
”So it would be a casual areddon”
”Knock on wood”
”But they said I was flat, short and stupid! There's no way I could forgive them!”
”There's no one ould bring out a wide-area destruction weapon used in deep space combat for that kind of childish reason!”
”B-but Ruth!”
”No 'buts'!”
The arguirl
The nuradually decreased, and she was now mostly silent
”Fuuuuu It looks like everything will calm down Geez”
Kiriha let out a big sigh and relaxed her shoulders
”Princess Theia, please settle down If you kill the residents of this roohness Do you want to be the quickest failure in the history of Forthorthe and bring shame to your mother?”
As soon as her
”Your Highness, please open your mind Forthorthe's influence doesn't reach this planet We're the ones forcing ourselves onto them”
This girl has been saying reasonable things for a while now
The past several days had been athemselves into this room
So this new girl's agreeable words were like music to Koutarou's ears
”I got it Blue Knight, relinquish attack uard mode Cancel the Genesis Buster”
”AS YOU WISH, MY PRINCESS”
”Thank you, Your Highness”
The new girl gave a relieved s in the room seemed to have settled
There were holes in the walls from the laser, and the wallpaper had been torn off in places by the shock waves
The once-beautiful tatami mats had scorch marks left on them The room was in pieces
”If the landlord sees this she'll probably cry”
Koutarou looked around the room
Corona House was the landlord shi+zuka's treasure
It was a keepsake from her late parents
And finding it in this state would alrief
Koutarou was painfully aware of that
”Koutarou, please sit down, or we can't start”
”Oh, sorry, right away”
As Kiriha called out to hiirls seated around the tea table
The order they were sitting in was clockwise: Sanae, Kiriha, Yurika, Tulip, and the girl who had come after her
There was a space left open between Sanae and Kiriha for Koutarou
”So I sit here”
Koutarou sat down in the open space
”It's kind of cramped”
”That's because we're up to six people now”
Kiriha shrugged at Sanae's words Neither the tea table nor the rooned for six people
Because of that, the room felt very small with so many people in it
”The probleer I' we need to deepen our friendshi+p”
”Well that's true, but”
Sanae had a sad look on her face
”So to get to the point, who are you?”
”Hmph!”
Tulip - The girl in the dress who had been the first to come out of the wall - refused to answer
And she provokingly turned her face away from him
”I am sorry It seems my master is in a bad mood, so I will explain in her stead”
The girl in unifor
Coirl in the dress, she had a mild and cooperative atmosphere to her
She bowed her head politely and cal impression on him
However, sheKoutarou decided to hear her out before letting his guard down
”Please allow hness Theiamillis”
And the girl in unifor next to her
”Her Highness?”
It was a phrase she had used several times already
Koutarou kneas a title of honor for soirl in front of him
”Yes, Her Highness's name is Theiamillis Gre Forthorthe She is the princess of the Holy Forthorthe Galactic Empire”
”Princess!? This person over here's the top brat!?”
Hearing Koutarou's words, the girl in the dress, Theia, glared at him
However, this ti
”Yes She is the seventh princess, but in the present she is the current emperor's only child”
”So she's a princess? Really?”
The girl explaining nodded at the amazed Sanae
”It will be hard to show you proof of her identity right away, but there is no mistake”
”There will be no need for that I understand that you at the very least hold a high position”
”Eh!? You'll believe us!?”
”Yes, to a certain extent”
Unexpectedly, the one supporting the girl's words was Kiriha
”What do you mean, Kiriha-san?”
”Koutarou, think back to the power of their weapons”
”What about the weapons? Well, they were dangerous but”
”Do you think anyone would be able to walk around with that kind of weaponry? Least of all, antimatter?”
”Oh, you mean like that”
With that, Koutarou understood what Kiriha meant
”Sanae, what seems more natural to you? A norh position?”
”Well, that would be a really iht? They have mushroom bombs after all”
”Right? In other words, that's how it is It would be strange for those two to be normal people”
”I see Now that you mention it, that makes sense”
Sanae nodded, satisfied and beganfun of Yurika
”Yurika, unlike a self-proclaimed princess like yourself, she's a real one”
”I'm also a real one!”
”I know A real hardcore cosplayer, right?”
”You're wrong! Why does everyone bully me!?”
Yurika ground her teeth in frustration, but no one was listening to her
”To show position, shoer An old-fashi+oned method, but it was effective”
”As for the sudden use of power I would like to apologize”
The girl bowed apologetically
”You don't have to worry about that; ere both in the wrong”
”Thank you”
”Koutarou, you sure forgave them quickly, didn't you?”
”Why don't you remember what you said”
Sanae flinched at Koutarou's cold glance
She also felt she had said too much
Apart fro her breasts at the start, Koutarou had also said a bit too much afterwards
The same was true for the other two
”And what about you? Do you also hold a high position?”
”No, I'm just part of theHer Highness Theia and taking care
of her surroundings My name is Ruthkania Nye Pardomshi+ha”
”Ruth is my childhood friend”
Theia, who had kept quiet, opened her mouth for a moment
”She's a reliable and talented protection officer”
”Your words are wasted on hness”
Ruth gave Theia a sain
”Hmm so this person's a soldier”
”Ruth-san Oh right, I forgot I'm Koutarou, Satomi Koutarou, this room's resident”
”I'an Sanae And this flashy person is Yurika But the only thing flashy about her is her appearance, so don't pay her any attention”
”I'ical -”
Yurika attempted to introduce herself, but
”Kurano Kiriha Please call me Kiriha”
Sadly, she was interrupted by Kiriha
”Do you really hate ical No, me that much?”
Yurika asked, crying Her shoulders slumped and she wept on her handkerchief
Ruth was surprised by Yurika's sudden tears
”Did so happen to Yurika-sama?”
”It's fine Please let her be, Ruth-san”
”Okay, Satomi-sama”
Yurika continued to cry
Ruth was unable to comprehend the situation, but she decided to leave it be for now
”By the way, Ruth You alactic empire before What did you mean by that?”
”Did she say so like that, Koutarou?”
Sanae, who hadn't been paying attention, pulled on Koutarou's sleeve and asked
”She did So Galactic Empire That Theia seems to be that country's princess”
”I know about the Empire in Ginza[2]!”
There was a famous hotel in Ginza called the Imperial Hotel
”Those two are unrelated”
”I know that too!”
”It is just as everybody is saying”
Ruth nodded her head
”We came from the Holy Forthorthe Galactic Empire”
”Holy Forthorthe Galactic Empire I've never heard of a country with that name”
”Have you heard of it, Yurika?”
”Why would you think I know anything?”
Yurika had a confused look on her face after Sanae asked her
”It sounds like a naht out of an anime”
Yurika began sobbing
”Don't just make her cry for no reason, Sanae”
”Sorry, it was just a reflex”
”So Ruth-san, where is that country? In the Middle East? Or maybe Europe?
”No”
Ruth shook her head
”It's about 10 alaxy”
”So that really was the case!?”
Kiriha instinctively stood up
The antimatter weapon Theia and Ruth had used caused Kiriha to hold some suspicion, but she was still very surprised
”Koutarou, a different Ginza? Is there another Ginza outside of Tokyo?”
”No, another galaxy!”
Koutarou was perplexed He understood what Ruth was saying, but it was more likely to be the plot of a movie he would watch with Kenji
”That can't be right If they caalaxy that would make them -”
”Yes, that's correct We came from a different planet; in other words, we're aliens”
Theia and Ruth, these two girls were the ant visitors yet
”A-alien”
Koutarou's jaw dropped
”After ghosts, cosplayers and underground people, I wasn't going to be surprised by s, but to think aliens”
”I'irl!”
”I believe it's quite normal to be surprised It is rare to come into contact with another civilization after all”
Ruth gave an understanding smile
”But, now that you mention it, it does kind of feel obvious”
Lasers, barriers, antiine that such sci-fi weapons could be found on Earth
If we had such scientific progress on Earth, ould be a lot further ahead
Kiriha's two haniere surprising, but this technology was a shock even to Kiriha
”There's no doubt about it”
Kiriha wiped the sweat off her brow Her cold sould not stop
”Karama, Korama, prepare that”
”Got it-ho!”
”We'll bring it right away-ho!”
As the haniwas heard her orders, they sprung into action right away
They flipped up the tatami mat closest to the front door and jumped into the hole beneath it
”What will you do, Koutarou?”
”For starters, I'll continue as if what they're saying is true”
”You believe them when they say they're aliens?”
”Yes, they don't see”
Koutarou brought his mouth close to Sanae's ear and whispered
”Besides, even if it's a lie, those weapons are real”
”You have a point They're definitely different from someone like Yurika”
Sanae whispered back and looked at Theia and Ruth And another reason crossed her mind
”Hey, Koutarou”
”Hm?”
”Are you believing theirl is your type?”
”Of course not!”
”Really?”
”Of course! Well, she is cute, now that you mention it”
”I am honored For you to call me c-cute”
The girl who had consistentlyKoutarou call her cute
It was only when she e
”She's got a proper attitude and she's not saying anything strange There's no reason to doubt her, right?”
”You sound suspicious~ Are you sure it's not because obedient girls are your type? Typical boys~ Just because she's pretty and obedient she's being put on a pedestal~”
”Well, compared to you, anyone would be obedient!”
”That's true”
Sanae, Yurika, Kiriha, and Theia The four of them were far away from the word 'obedient'
”I arateful you believe us, Satomi-sama I have actually been worried about how to make you believe this part for a while”
”For a while? So you two didn't just arrive today, Ruth-san?”
”That's right”
Ruth nods
”Actually, we arrived at this planet yesterday evening”
”So, what have you been doing all this time?”
”We were gathering data for a translation device from the conversations in Satomi-sama's room”
While Ruth was explaining, she pulled out a small box and presented it to everyone
That was the translation device the tere using
”Now that youin japanese”
”To think this small box can”
Koutarou and Sanae stared at the box In order to make it easier for them to look at it, Ruth handed it over to them
”Because of that, we just about understand everybody's circu on you, and for that I would like to deeply apologize”
”If we can't understand one another, on't get anywhere, so you don't have to worry about it, Ruth-san”
”Thank you very much, Satomi-sama”
Ruth had been prepared to be resented, so she felt relieved
”So why did you two come here?”
”That would be our problem”
Ruth sharpened up; there was no tiet down to business
”Her Highness Theia cah the emperor's family”
”Ritual?”
Kiriha raised her head Ruth nodded and continued her explanation
”Yes A trial is passed down onto the empire's successor when he or she turns 16”
”A trial? What kind of trial?”
”They could be all kinds of trials depending on the person It could be searching for ite with your destined enemy, and the like Once they have cleared their trial, they are deemed fit to succeed the throne”
”So it's like a ritual to become an adult?”
”That is correct, Kiriha-sama If a member of the royal family doesn't display their capabilities, they won't be allowed to succeed the throne, even if they're the emperor's own child”
”So does that mean when she clears her trial, she will become empress?”
”No, that is not the case Those who clear the trial are recorded in order of tiht to succeed the throne The one on top of the list is crowned emperor”
”In order of when they cleared it That's how you show your capabilities, huh”
”Yes, that is correct, Satomi-sama”
Ruth nodded
”Which means you two, or rather, the princess over there came here to clear that trial?”
”That's right”
Theia opened her mouth
”I have to show my capabilities For that reason, I came here with Ruth”
”Just the two of you?”
Koutarou was slightly surprised In his head, royalty usually only traveled with a large entourage
However, according to her, Ruth was her only companion
”Yes I' my capabilities with this trial That won't be possible with a large group”
”I see Unless you do it on your own, there won't be a point”
”Precisely”
”So what's the trial? You ca?”
”No The trial given to her highness is invasion”
”Invasion!?”
”Her Highness Theia must invade this room and rule it in both name and reality”
”W-wait just a minute! Why does it have to be my room!?”
Koutarou was taken aback, and Ruth continued explaining
”As I believe you are noell aware of, this trial is to show the capabilities of the successor to the throne Therefore, a real invasion won't be expected Her Highness has been given coordinates selected at random to a small space to occupy and make into her own territory It's merely a ceremony”
”So that space just happens to be my room!?”
”I know it's hard to believe, but the coordinates the computer selected overlap perfectly with this room”
”What kind of coincidence is that!?”
”We are perplexed by this as well Normally, the coordinates for this trial are in e in that space and it's over This trial requires extre to an unknown location in the vastness of space”
Ruth had a serious look on her face
The coordinates the co empty space The universe is mostly empty, after all
Which is why this was the first tient life on it, had ever been selected
”So what happens in this case?”
”If intelligent life is found at the invasion point, you don't only have to invade but also iance It's a trial to show you are capable of standing above others after all And of course, taking their life is absolutely out of the question”
”Which means”
Having had this thoroughly explained, even Koutarou was able to understand ould happen next
”With this, even soence level could understand! Swear your loyalty to ht away and relinquish rule of this roolorious e and prosperous life”
The 7th princess of the Holy Forthorthe Galactic Empire, Theiamillis Gre Forthorthe
She was not just trying to invade this room, but also Koutarou's heart
”I refuuuuse!”
Koutarou's response to Theia, as de his room and his loyalty, was the same as before
”Who would ever swear loyalty to you!? Don't h!”
After having his rooood impression of Theia
Koutarou could not even i loyalty to her
”daently and this is how you repay me!?”
”When did you ever treat ently!? The only one who ever lowered her head was Ruth!”
Ouch
Pain shot through Koutarou's head after yelling at Theia
Maybe I got a bit too excited
Koutarou shook his head in an atte with a heavy sensation in the center of his head
Koutarou thought it was because he had gotten too excited, but in reality it was because he had been pushi+ng his body so hard for the past few days
”I won'tyou into ashes on the spot!”
”I already know you won't be able to clear your trial like that! Your e!”
However, Koutarou quickly forgot about his headache Theia, as in front of hier pain
”Grrrr, the Neanderthal has picked up soe”
”If you weren't with Ruth, I would have kicked you out long ago!”
”What!? Watch your words when speaking to your master!”
”Who is this master!?”
”I a you!?”
”As if I want to remember, Tulip!”
Neither Koutarou nor Theia was backing down, and they glared at each other intensely
Their faces drew closer and closer, to the point that if they h to kiss
”Your Highness, Sato won't benefit anyone”
”Even if it's Ruth-san's request, I definitely won't listen to this shrimp!”
”You heard him, Ruth! This plebeian won't understand unless we use force! This Neanderthal won't understand the joy of being a Forthorthe citizen!”
Ruth's persuasion didn't work on Koutarou and Theia, ere both far too worked up However, Ruth wouldn't give up
”Please! Please, please listen to my selfishness! No ht!”
Ruth was truly worried about the pair of them and it lent power to her words
”I understand Ruth I am sorry”
”This time only Only because of Ruth-san”
Thankfully, her second attempt reached the two
They eyed each other discontentedly as they stepped down
”Thank you, both of you Thank you soto me”
Ruth wiped the corner of her eye, quietly relieved
Literally translated to Certain Kill, I felt it would be better if left untranslated
Sanae was alaxy
