146 Episode 146 "I tried to call my best friends nickname at the place where I was transferred.".txt (1/2)

Transfer Magic (Teni Maho).

I remember what the king said when I was first invited to this world. I'm not sure I've ever seen such a thing before.

After meeting everyone, I've asked around whether or not such magic exists. The answer was ”Yes, it exists. But I've never heard of anyone using it.

'Transference Magic' is a fairly high-level magic and consumes a lot of magic power. If it's not good, you have to synchronize with a group of people and cast a spell to activate it. In other words, it seems to be that difficult a magic.

That's right.

If the magic that sends objects and people hundreds of kilometers away in an instant can be used with impunity, the logistics will collapse. The port city of Ilgafa couldn't possibly become a major trading center.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I think it's a good idea.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. I'm sure it's an instant thing, and considering the scale and scope, it can't be something that can travel long distances - and it's not.

While I was thinking about this, we were being transferred to an unknown place.

'Welcome, chosen nobles.'

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a Western-style mansion surrounded by woods.

There was a large space with exposed earth around the mansion, and there were myself, Leticia, Cutlass, a baroness who was waiting for Leticia in an alleyway, and a man in black who was answering a call in front of the lord's house.

And standing in front of the mansion is a young girl with black hair, wearing a hat and hiding her face with a veil.

''I apologize for my rough mimicry. I had a story I wanted to tell only to you, the chosen nobles: ......

She looked around at us and slowly bowed.

''That's why we have invited you to this 'World Spirit House', which takes a few dozen days from the port city. The area around this place is called the 'Forest of Seals', a place where high-level demons live. In this place, no one will listen to you.

I see.

”SENDER: Nagi.

Recipient: Cecil Illis.

Body: ”Apparently we've been sent away from Ilgafa, a place that takes dozens of days to get there.

Sender: Cecil.

Recipient: Ms. Nagi and Mr. Iris.

TEXT: What happened?　Are you okay, Nagi-sama!''

”Sent by Iris.

Recipient. Mr. Cecil

TEXT: You are within a two-day walk of receiving the ”Sharing and Changing Consciousness” message. Are you safe?　Lady Letitia, and Lady Cutlass?

The message came back.

This was an unexpected neighborhood.

''We have limited the number of guards to ensure that only selected people are informed. I know you proud noblemen are anxious to be away from your men and guards, but...''

The girl with the veil on said, looking around.

'...... Leggy, you're in there, right?'

”Of course.

The Magic Sword Reggie trembled at my back with a clunk.

Next, I touch the ”Heavenly Dragon Bracelet” on my right arm. A faint voice replied, ”Yes, Otosan. White is also there.

Cutlass, who is next to me, is pointing at the ”Balluar breastplate” he wears under his clothes. Fynn can be called out at any time, too. He's communicating in real time with Cecil and Iris. There's enough people in this room. That's not a problem.

”...... I have taken these steps for your own safety. There are skills and items in this world that you are not aware of... ......

The girl with the veil on announced with a smile on her mouth.

'Cutlass. Ask Fynn. Do you feel a hint of the 'artifact' around you?

”...... feels so.

Cutlass nodded.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it. I think it's impossible to use transposition magic as a godlike ability, unless you're a 'sacred relic' (artifact), I think it's impossible to use it so easily.

Yes, sir.

In other words, 'skills and items you don't know' are definitely cheat skills and artifacts.

”This land is blessed by the world spirit, a place beyond the unseen...

The girl in the veil continues to explain.

”It will be difficult for all of you to get through the forest. ”There are curious wards and the souls of the dead prowling around...

”Sent by: Nagi

Recipient: Cecil Illis.

Body: ”Because...

'Cecil Illis: I've come up with a plan!

All right. We're good to go.

Now we just need to...

You know what, Letitia?

I know what you're doing. What they want and who they are.

Letitia nodded, as if she knew what I meant.

Whispering to each other, Cutlass and I are kneeling diagonally behind Letitia.

I've decided that Leticia is a nobleman attending the lord's house's party, and Cutlass and I are his attendants.

Originally, this group was going to attend the party. We've been practicing for a while now.

...... The question is, is the other person really a princess?

I saw a girl standing in front of the pavilion.

A girl wearing a hat and a veil on her face, with soldiers on her left and right, lighting a magical ”light” on the tip of her sword. Still, I can't see the girl's face. Analyzing her identity, the possibilities are.

(1) Princess Claudia of the royal family.

Rationale: The royal family can use transition magic. And the princess is a member of the royal family. And also, Baroness Lalambert, who invited us here, said 'Princess Claudia has summoned us'.

(2) Visitors.

Rationale: The visitor is traveling to the frontier with transference magic (apparently). It's not surprising that the visitors have related powers.

(3) Other: nobleman or commoner, demi-humans.

However, the chances of a demi-human are slim. Because there is no reason to gather only nobles.

That's all.

Well, thank you. Let's find out who she is and what kind of power she has.

Wise noblemen! May I have your attention please. Like the gargoyles that have come to our town this time, there is always an unseen danger.

The girl said.

''Also, there is a demon king in the frontier. I don't know when that evil hand will come to our kingdom. In fact, ...... you have seen the demons attacking the town. You'll see the demons attacking the town. A nobleman is a person who has fiefdoms and lands. What would you do if a demon like that appeared there?　Ladies and gentlemen. Can we fight with just our soldiers?

”Dear 'Vale'

Suddenly, the noble girl who lured us here said.

Her name is ...... Baroness Lalambell, I believe.

''Before we talk, will you fulfill your promise? I have brought a nobleman of my acquaintance here with me.

'I know, sir. I'll give you new powers as a 'refer-a-friend benefit'.

I'm honored. Dear ”Vale”. The Butler.

Very well. I'll send a steward with extraordinary abilities in 10 days.

Thank you. Dear ”Vale

”On your way back, please wait for me at the transference portal in the pavilion. As soon as our business negotiations are over, I will arrange for you to leave.

Nodding at the girl Vale's words, the girl who had brought us here walked into the hall.

She didn't even try to look at us.

Really, you just brought us here for the privilege .......

'Let's get back to it. We're talking about a crisis that's always aimed at you guys.

The Vale girl also looked at us and at the nobleman who had been brought in.

'Nobles are those who have something to lose. Their lands, their materials, their families - don't you think they need the power to protect them?　You never know when an unseen danger will strike you, as in the case of the gargoyle...

What do you mean by that?

As if he couldn't stand it anymore, the man in black spoke up.

''Why did you bring us to this place? Explain!

The angry man is a nobleman who was in front of the Ilgafa lord's house. Well, you're right to be angry. If you are suddenly brought to a place like this.

The girl in the veil in response to that - I can faintly see her laughing with her mouth only.

Is this kind of reaction expected? I thought you were quite prepared for this. There are interviewers who deliberately make job seekers lose their temper during pressure interviews, but it's like that.

”Well, well, well, Baron Garunzo. I beg your pardon.

The girl put her hand on the chest of her dress and looked at the man.

'As the attendant said earlier, this is a place to recommend goods to you. It is twenty days away from the royal capital. I would not recommend you to raise your voice in that manner, though.

'How rude is that?

A male nobleman cried out, ”If you want to recommend our goods, you should send a messenger.

He said, ”If you want to offer us goods, you should send a messenger to talk to us. How can we trust them with such deceitful practices!

Several noblemen and knights have already used our products to expand their activities.

'I don't care!　Get my men up here now!　You and others will be beaten here!

Disqualified.

The girl snapped her fingers.

At the same time, the soldiers who were waiting on either side of her start to move.

The male guards draw their swords. But the soldiers were moving faster. The black armor-clad soldiers easily flicked off the sword of the nobleman's bodyguard and struck the bodyguard and the nobleman with the hilt of the sword. It was a quick action that we didn't have time to do anything about.

We tied up the incapacitated man and his escort with a rope and carried them into the mansion.

'The person to whom we entrust our goods should be calm and judicious. You are, I am sorry, disqualified.

Wait.

Letitia spoke up.

The girl in the veil looked at her.

'What do you intend to do with that person?'

We'll persuade you and then return you to your original location.

The girl seemed to laugh under the veil.

'It would take me twenty days to get from here to the port city if I returned normally. It would be difficult for you to return by yourself.

”[Heh]

Me, Leticia and Cutlass murmured at the same time.

Leticia looked at me and nodded. It's a sign, ”Can I leave it to you? I nod. I heard that Letitia is not good at negotiating, so I will try to talk to her on your behalf.

It's a good idea to be able to have a look at the following: ”Viscountess ...... Letitia-milfe-sama, was it?

The girl picked up the skirt of her dress and bowed.

'I am honoured that you remember me. The mystery one.

Letitia scratched her head as if in trouble.

'Please call me ”Vale”. I am always welcome to ask you a cool question.

I'm not very good at that. I'd appreciate it if you could send someone else to do it.

Hi.

I stood up and lined up beside Letitia.

''This is a special place where only nobles are allowed to speak. Is that person on the same level as a nobleman?''

The girl - Vale tilted her head curiously and looked at me.

''That's right. This person is .......

Leticia seemed to be thinking for a moment, but as if she had made up her mind to do something, she clenched her fist and...

”This is my most trusted fiancée, my most trusted fiancée!

Letitia... Letitia...

............ just for this occasion. It's just for this occasion.

I know, but...

Letitia, you're all red up to your neck.

”All right. ”Letia.

You're gonna call me by that name here?

No, because they said I could call her that. A nickname for Letitia when she was a little girl.

'You said ...... fiancée, that's Letitia. It's just to avoid suspicion.

....... Okay, I get it. This is the only one.

We discuss it face to face.

'Well, I'll continue the conversation on your behalf: ...... ”Letia

............ ugh, ugh.

Letitia turned bright red, but she looked at me and nodded her head.

I'm maddeningly embarrassed, too.

'I see you're not lying about being ............ fiancé,'

It seems to have fooled the girl in the Vale.

”As a member of a nobleman's household, you have the right to speak.

Then I ask you.

I said.

This place is a stage they've set for us. We don't know what traps are out there.

Let's pretend that we are playing into their hands to get information out of them.

''Leticia and I were planning to attend the Ilgafa lord's 'Oroufa Party' as a celebration of our engagement. It was an accident that the gargoyle attacked us, and my noble fiancé fought against it to protect his people.

The girl in the veil, and I say it loud enough for the other nobles to hear.
