Chapter 316 Nell’s Request (Intimidation)

 

――――The 58th day of training.

 

After the flaming tabletop battle, a new day has arrived. I won’t go into details about what happened yesterday, but let’s just say that we managed to come to a draw. We had to pay the compensation, but it was a small price to pay for my life. Besides, the employees of the hot spring resort responded politely with a bitter smile when they saw the scorched room.

 

『It’s okay. It’s within the acceptable range.』

 

Perhaps they had been told something in advance by Alezel. Like, 『If Nell does something, just smile and forgive her~』. I eagerly agreed to the settlement and shook hands with a smile on my face. Well, a lot happened yesterday. That’s all.

Yesterday, I and Nell started the day with a hangover, but today we were able to have a refreshing morning. I think we were able to vent the stress and bad feelings in yesterday’s hot spring table tennis of hell. To be frank, I think Nell just wanted to play with me….

After breakfast at the inn, we packed our luggage and headed to a certain place where we are supposed to meet up with Alezel.

 

「Oh, you’re here~. Morning.」

「Morning. Is the ship already here?」

 

Speaking of ships, yeah, it is the landing place for airships. Today is the day that Zeta would be leaving for Al Nova, the Machine Country, and also the day that we would go with her.

 

「It will arrive soon. Still, it sure is so sudden. I thought that only Zeta was going to Al Nova.」

「Sorry, our circumstances have changed.」

「I’m sorry for being selfish….」

「Chinacchan? Well, you don’t seem like that type.」

 

Chinatsu bowed deeply to Alezel, who had arranged the flight to Al Nova.

The reason why this happened was that after cleaning up the table tennis, Chinatsu consulted something to us.

 

『I also want to go to Al Nova with Zeta-san!』

『『……Huh?』』

 

I and Nell unintentionally let out our voices at the same time. As for Haru and Touko, they were also surprised.

When we asked the reason… it seems that she heard from Zeta that there’s a way for them to return to their original world. The great detective Fuchi and friends are also looking for it, but they haven’t been able to gather any information. It seems that Chinatsu also has been looking for a way to return on her own.

When I asked for more details from Zeta, she replied that she had heard Zex talk about it before, but Zeta herself doesn’t know about it. It can be said that there’s no definite proof. But for Chinatsu, it’s a great hope.

 

「Well, it all started when old geezer Joseph transferred you here forcibly. Now that the threat has gone from the Jiba continent and you have fulfilled your role as a hero, I can understand your feelings of wanting to go home.」

「Um, do Deris-san and Shishō not object it?」

「Why? It’s very reasonable and it’s natural for you to think that way. Rather, Haru and Touko are the strange ones.」

「「Eh?」」

 

Hey you there, don’t make a face that as if saying, 『Why? What about the future battles?』.

 

「I agree with Deris. If I were to be sent to another world, I would desperately look for a way to return. My feelings of wanting to be with Deris and Chinatsu’s feelings of caring for those in the original world are the same, right?」

「Nell-shishō…!」

 

Oh, Nell said something decent, and Chinatsu was deeply moved. As for me, I’m a little embarrassed because Nell was speaking fondly about me.

 

「I can understand Haruna and Touko’s feelings as well, though!」

「「Right!?」」

「N-Nell-shishō….」

 

I think that sentence was unnecessary. You got Haru and Touko’s approval, but Chinatsu’s emotions were diminished, you know?

 

「It’s not too late to talk about whether or not you’re going to return after you’ve confirmed whether or not there’s a way to do so. You can worry about it later.」

「That’s right~. If there is such a way, my dream will expand in various things~」

「No, you should stop thinking about making money there…. Still, a way to move to another world, huh. I’ve talked to Fuchi before, but I’ve never heard about it. How did Zex know about it?」

""

「Because Zex-sama’s knowledge is bottomless! It’s no surprise if he knows about it!」

「I-I see. Yeah, that’s right.」

 

Oh no, I stepped on a landmine of Zeta.

 

「Can’t we use the method that Joseph-san used to transfer us?」

「It’s a forbidden technique that is now banned, the kind that burns you if you touch it carelessly. It randomly summons someone with an aptitude from another world, but we won’t know who and from which world. And on top of that, it has no power to send them back to where they came from.」

「In other words, the summon is one-way traffic and you can’t choose the target world and person?」

「That’s right. In the past, it seems that it was officially used to summon a hero, but from an ethical point of view, the hero of the past designated it as a forbidden art, and now it’s banned worldwide.」

 

The reason why Joseph, who used such a forbidden art, was only punished to that extent was because most of the classmates approved the transfer, including Haru. Some of them did bad things, uh… I forgot their names, but I erased those guys before they came to the public, and they were low-ranked as villains. Well, they were originally normal students (there’s an exception in front of me though), so that’s not surprising.

 

「There are skirmishes, but now is not the era where the Great Eight Demons plan to conquer the world, so there are almost no people who use it openly.」

「That’s right, now is the era of Love and Peace!」

「Look who’s talking.」

 

Anyway, we accepted Chinatsu’s request, and we decided to go together with Zeta. Zex is the Great Eight Demons one rank above the sixth-rank Alezel, so I’m sure it’s not a bad idea to let the girls meet him.

 

「Ah, that’s right. Nell, the thing you requested has arrived this morning. Here.」

 

Alezel took out a tightly sealed wooden box. The wooden box is long and thin, painted in black. From the looks of it, the box alone is quite luxurious.

 

「Oh, it’s faster than I thought.」

「What’s that?」

「It’s a new weapon for Chinatsu that I requested the Galdevalan’s people to make. I asked them to send it through the Quitet branch when it’s completed since I’ll be away from Adelheit for a while.」

「Aah, I see. It’s her new weapon, huh.」

「They must have worked very hard to make it. According to my employee who received it, it’s a first-rate sword forged by the entire country. And as the finishing, it’s said that the Warrior King himself held the forging tools. Nell’s influence sure is great~」

「It’s for my cute Chinatsu after all. It’s only natural for her master to do this much. Now, Chinatsu. I’ll give this to you. It’s the best sword, made with the dignity of Galdevalan at stake. Take good care of it.」

「T-Thank you very much. I-I-I will take good care of it….」

 

I wonder how Nell requested it? I won’t think deeply about it, but Chinatsu was so nervous that her hands were shaking.
