Expectation from an unexpected place
Thank you for reading Isekai Mahou Wa Okureteru
After thinking for a while, I think the result of that thought is I’ll close the impression column until Lefille ark ends
At this rate it seems I won’t be able to write … So after the completion Lefille ark I’ll take the criticisms solemnly/seriously
I apologize to the readers who always report wrong words, o es
Since this matter is solely because of , so if you have any opinion regarding this aishi+masu)
Though I’ive me
……………………………………
Immediately after Lefille went to confirm the presence of ry voice could be heard
「―Suimei was used as a decoy！！」
That was the angry shout of Reiji as if bursting open
There is no need to worryAfter those words which followed froori’sto this Reiji quick goes and grabs his collar
There is no sign of the respect towards the knight that was expressed a little while ago
Seeing the angry expression of the person who is called the hero, Gregori freezes up in fear
「Ha、Ha……」
「Is it true！」
「Wa、Ha！ Everything as I’ve said」
「Wha……！」(「なっ、……っ！」if anyone has an idea please help)
Reiji is at a loss for words listening to the words wihich are not even worth beco a joke to be thetruth
He is been biting his lips alht’s collar
Untill now an absent minded titania, surprised came to stop Reiji
「Please calm down Reiji sama！」
「Bu、but！」
「Gregory was still in the middle of his story Let’s listen to him until he finishes……」
「……All right」
There were soory was in theSuiers here 」
That’s all A detailed explanation has not been heard yet
However as far as Reiji himself was concerned, that one sentence was h to him
The talk was accepted, and seeing this titania heaved a sigh of relief
And then, regaining her coirl, unexpectedly looked at Gregory severely and commands him
「Gregoryー Speak Do you understand？」
「……Yes」(Ha ha)
Along with his answer to her, he kneel down in front of her
Gregory who regained hiirl he starts to shudder He begins to talk again while sweat starts to form on his forehead
「……I heard this story from the co to hi towards the vicinity of Aster To let the Hero dono safely escape from that army Suimei dono was used as a decoy」
That is the rough story But, the story more he hear more it becomes incmprehensible to him
Why, why did it becos I want to ask
Before Reiji could ask anything, Mizuki earing a glooory in a hurry and asked him
「Ano’ using Suimei kun as a decoy, in the end what does it actually mean？Don’t tell me it actullay means to make Suimei kun the decoy……」
「Yes (Hai)。About this 」
What caory’s mouth was in a sense expected However to actually execute it it was quitedifficultSuimeihimself doesn’t know that he became the decoy In spite of that he was made into a decoy Then naturally a question comes up
「……Then how come Suimei can be made into a decoy？ Don’t telltowards his trail will be attacked？」
「About that, it seems it was matched with Suimei dono’s departutre ……」
「Matched with his departure？」
When Reiji asked back Mizuki as ifto it expresses a bewildered expression
「What？what？Why？ Sui the city？」
When theyleft the castle Suimei said that he would leave the castle and live in the city as he wished Because it was hard for him to be in Camelia That’s why,Mizuki’s doubt is justifiable because what they heard just now doesn’t match what they know
Then, Gregory cleared his throat while his face was covered in sweat
「After we left, inforuard a business caravan came in」
「Suiuild？」(desuka? indicates question)
「Yes According to the information, Several days after Suimei dono left the castle he already becaht Pavilion From there it is speculated that, Sui intended to leave the city But I don’t know the reason why Sui about this matter the nobles ere concerned with the deation decided to use Suimei dono as……」
So they used him
But, what happened to Suio with us because he wanted to stay safe, that’s he was suppose to have chosen to stay in the castle town
Nevertheless, he i a request, without any purpose/plan he wouldn’t have done that
「I wonder, what’s wrong with Suierous, he should have known this」
「I don’t know But since it’s Suimei, I think he must have some kind of plan」
「Yeah……」
Seeing Mizuki anxiously ory
「And, what is the destination of that business caravan？」
「According to the inforuild, it’s destination is Nelferian Empire via the city of Kurand 」
「That’s……almost the same path that we’ve taken」
It’s just as titania said
That’s right On the way even though we didn’t stop in the City of Kurand, the distance Suimei traveled must be the same as the distance we’ve traveled from Nelferian toward Sadias
If that’s the case, then there is one possibility which arises
「Is it possible, that Sui after us？」
「……Co after us, that’s not totally unthinkable but」
It isn’t that, that possibility didn’t exist However, even if that possibility is applied, it doesn’t feel satisfactory
Yakagi Suie hisplans just because he was feeling lonely or anxious Besides, if he had a reason where he had to come after us, he would’ve definitely reported it to the castle personnel directlyThat’s why I don’t understand First of all the motive is unclear But, even if I trouble myself over it here there won’t be any conclusion
Leaving that talk aside, Reiji again asked Gregory
「……Maa I understand the reason why Sui like that？ It wasn’t particularly necessary to forcefully make Suimei a decoy」
So, if the Mazoku caht now, it would’ve been wise for us to escape Then it’s okay to escapeThere wasn’t any good reason for which Suimei must become the decoy
「Hero dono What is approaching is a large scale army of the MazokuI don’t knohy, hopefully the army’s pace is slow, even so the opponents are Mazoku In relation to thatthat can be compared (TN- sorry little confused around here) If by any chance, Hero dono you were to get capture or so else were to happened to you, lord Hardias ……」
「E…… Hardias the duke！？」
「Wha……」
To titania’s surprised voice Gregory bows his head ashamed
What, Hardias that duke? If I reo
But no matter how hard Reiji tried he couldn’t remember
Part 02
Therefore, he asked titania who should be knowledgeable about this
「Sorry Tia, who exactly is duke Hardias? 」
「……Duke Hardias is a e of the affairs related to this tiation In other words, inside Asteru he is a person who has the authority to decide strategies which will help us The deation won’t be easy, and if there are a lot of people involved in planning it anized, that’s hen father made the list of people suitable fort the task, he was the very first person on the list……」
「Then the person who made Suimei a decoy, is him?」
When asked again, titania nods heavily without any proof
And the person who knew the circuory
「……Indeed It is as you said It was the decision of a section of nobles, who are cooperating with lord Hardias in regards to the de Hero sath I’m told that, it was decided that it’s still early for Hero dono to confront an army even with a properly prepared support troop, that’s why such a plan was adopted 」
「……Still, it doesn’t seeh to forcibly make Suimei into adecoy?」(TLN: narimasen yo? used as a question here)
「About that, it’s not clear why the Mazoku were able to sense the existence of Hero dono The Mazoku captured by the underlings of lord Hardias declared rudely that he caation the reason is yet to be found, therefore……is it possible to use Suimei dono who is also a summoned person to create disturbance? such a question aroused So we spread false inforet Suimei dono」
Certainly it may be effective Since we did not come into contact with the Mazoku army, means that they are completely oblivious to our location, but it’s a fact that they know of our existence
If, what if Suppose the Mazoku side has the ardless of the fact of such a thing’s existence, it’s worth taking such a ards the existence called hero as a threat, like this tih location,the possibility of defeat is not at all few
But first, there is a information that must be known
It’s called ti
「……First ti the parade, even if the Mazoku found out during that tis to develop this far ― is it even possible? 」
「Yeah, it’s hard to iine Just as mizuki said it’s too early」
「Yeah」
Therefore, it is possible that there are people with such power inside the Mazoku group
If that’s is the case, it’s crating problems
「How did duke Hardias was able to spread false inforroup……? Don’t tell me there is an acquaintance inside the dee it?」(TLN: 一体どうやった？」confused)
Uncharacteristically Reiji gaave Gregory a hard look
If it was between huht be possible, but if the opponent is the Mzoku is’nt it bad/impossible
Even if information were to be sent from the human side to the Mazoku side, it’s authenticity would be doubted Probably before believing the Mazoku doesn’t have any reason to heaar it In other words there is no connections Therefore, there must be some way(plan) to spread the false inforine but there must be some secret collusion somehow or other
「From the story of the communication personnel, a soldier was sent to the Charlotte dock as a roup was made to remember false infor his identity heading towards the city of Kurand with the business caravan」
「Wha…！？」(TLN: Confused with this one 「なっ！？」)
「That, don’t tell me that……」
Mizuki’s treinations to stirred up She see to say Her face went blue with an expression of unease To such Mizuki, Gregory with a bitter face answered with a voice filled with regret and disgust
「……The soldier who only knew false inforroup, then he would spill the false information to them Therefore, if the soldier were to be only told of false information, then if he were to confess then only those false information would come out of his mouth If the Mazoku learned this information, then this plan would succeed, that’s why this plan was passed at the very beginning……」
「What a thing……」
「It’s awful……」
It seereat shock titania with her hand in front of herhalfway, and Mizuki face see at any momment
In front of such girls Reiji pointed his resentory
「A soldier……to treat a human like that……isn’t that too unreasonable！What do you think a person’s life is ！」
「He, Hero dono and the soldier’s lives can’t be compared on the same scale To save a few soldier or Hero dono ill save everybody, if you look atthe big picture there is no need think about it ……」
「Like that Suimei was also……！」
「Even the people in the business caravan doesn’t have anything to do with this Despite that……」
Gregory who heard Reiji’s angry voice filled with fury and Mizuki’s grieving voice, didn’t say anymore than that and kept silent
Towards such hi in his stomach, he dropped his manner of speech and asked a question
「……Other than that, wasn’t there any other way？」
「By the time I heard the story, the Mazoku army was already halfway into the Charlotte dock’s territory and approaching the mountains near the border By then no other plan could be used……」
「If you knew all that for a long ti up until now！」
「It couldn’t be helped Hero dono！I was ordered not to tell anything until the tiht such as myself doesn’t have the authority to disobey suchan order ……besides, by the time I heard this story the plan was already……」
So nothing could be done , Gregory who said that, towards him Mizuki as seized worry told
「Su, such……then Suimei kun is」
Part 03
「……Most probably they have already ca Suie clothes since he doesn’t have special features, also only the rough location of the business caravan was told, there was no definite information, If someone were apply these information to find someone on the route from the imperial city Meteru to Kurant city then……」
「Bu, but！If he run away and hide himself somewhere……」
「It will be difficult, somehow hands of the Mazoku extends till the Neruferia empire If you think about that, then the scale of the Mazoku army must be considerable If there is a specific location, it is thoutht that they will search it thoroughly If that happens then the people of business caravan who knew nothing……」
「That sort of……」
「Suimei……」
Hearing Gregory’s conjectures, each individuals were attacked by a hard express felling There was no words , was it sorrow, despair or perhaps both Both Mizuki and titania thought since it was like that, there is no way Suimei is safe
I who said this also think that way
Suimei is definitely an astute person, but that doesn’t mean that he will be able come out of this situation unharmed
No, perhaps he won’t be able to come out No matter how h school student, he doesn’t have the divine protection froic It’s better if it’s a small monster, but there is no way he can stand up to the Mazoku
……It’s vexing, however the situation is already hopeless, I ask as if spilling the words
「……Why now?」
「Now ……?」
「Telling us about this」
Gregory at that tiood Then itto speak
一What on earth fulfilled the conditions to speak?
「Yes We must have you Hero donoreach a safety zone before the main force of the Mazoku ar came too early……with due respect hero dono I don’t knohat actions you would have taken Tha’s why――」
「Does thatthat can be done！」
「Indeed！I’m sorry」
Understanding the infuriating powers froory curled up prostrate himself
To such him titania asked
「Gregoryー。Does otousama knows about this?」
