Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 3.1

It’s been over a month since I got involved in the summoning to another world.

I’m trying my best to avoid contact with my classmates, but that doesn’t mean I’m not concerned.

If everything goes as planned, it’s about time for combat training.

The plan is to leave the capital and enter the nearby forest to hunt relatively weak monsters like goblins, but I wonder if it’s really safe.

Even a Shiba Inu, commonly kept as a pet in Japan, would evoke fear in most people if it started barking seriously.

Moreover, goblins are about 120 centimeters tall, with sharp claws and fangs, and above all, they show open hostility towards humans.

Being bitten on the neck could lead to fatal bleeding, and just being bitten or scratched on the arms or legs could result in infection.

I don’t know what the forest near the capital is like, but if there are venomous snakes or insects living there, it could be life-threatening.

Although I seem to be the only one who’s in a panic, I genuinely want my classmates to consider transferring to other professions without being constrained by shame or reputation.

People like Kawamoto, who happily practice fire magic, seem to enjoy combat professions by their own choice, but I doubt they’ll get treatment suitable for risking their lives.

However, I can’t do anything right now but fulfill the tasks assigned to me.

After finishing cleaning the assigned area and putting away the tools, when I returned to the miscellaneous staff’s waiting area, I was called out by Supervisor Udai.

“Yuto, we’re changing tomorrow’s schedule, so come dressed as neatly as possible.”

“Even if you say to dress neatly, I only have these clothes…”

“Wash them and wear the cleanest one. It’s a summons from Ekkels-sama, the head of the decoration department, so don’t be disrespectful.”

“Alright, I understand.”

When I gave a vague reply, I was yelled at by the supervisor.

“Do you even understand what the decoration department does?”

“Aren’t they responsible for decorating the inside of the castle?”

“You idiot! The decorations in the castle are arranged to suit the preferences of the royals. Those in charge of handling those decorations listen to the royals’ intentions and respond to their requests. If you go against them carelessly, you could lose your head. Be prepared, because if you offend Ekkels-sama, it won’t end well for you!”

“I… I understand…”

It’s easy to forget when living day-to-day, but this country has a strict caste system, and there are ranks corresponding to the contents of the castle’s work.

Those working in the kitchen are higher than the miscellaneous staff, and the decoration department is even higher in rank.

After scolding me, the supervisor motioned for me to come closer.

“Let me tell you something. Listen carefully, and don’t talk about this to others. Got it?”

“Yes…”

“Right now, in this country, there’s a clandestine struggle between the factions of the first queen and the second queen over the succession to the throne…”

According to the supervisor, both the first and second queens have given birth to two children each.

The first queen, Clarissa, is the mother of the first princess, Aurelia, and the second prince, Belnort.

The second queen, Sharlene, is the mother of the first prince, Alberic, and the second princess, Bridget.

“It’s somewhat complicated.”

“Even if it’s complicated, remember it. It’s related to the future.”

“Yes…”

Of the two queens, the one clinging to power is Clarissa, the first queen, who is reportedly plotting to make her son, Belnort, the next king.
