Episode 107: A Life in Another World that is Far from Free 44

We were led into the room where His Majesty was waiting, and we were taken aback by the unexpected situation.  

“I apologize, everyone.”  

“Ah, please raise your head, Your Majesty!”  

We were shocked because His Majesty bowed his head while apologizing.  

The one gasping in surprise was Alicia. While Yuria and I could only stand frozen, unable to speak.  

Dietrich-sama’s earlier smile had vanished, and his expression had turned serious.  

“I misjudged the speed of the Shriden military’s movements. I didn’t expect their advance would be this fast…”  

“What’s done is done! Please raise your head, and let’s think about what to do next! At the very least, we have many options available to us!”  

“…I see, you’re right. I’m sorry, Alicia. And I’ve caused you worry, too, Dietrich.”  

“No, it’s nothing. Honestly, I’m surprised by the speed of the Shriden military as well. I wonder what’s happening, or if this is the power of those from another world with special classes.”  

Perhaps he had made a significant misjudgment; since Dietrich-sama himself was also a special class, he didn’t consider the differences between local people and those from another world.  

“Could it be that the speed of their advance is due to that bastard King of Shriden leading them?”  

“I don’t think that’s the case. If the situation ensured victory, that might be plausible. But this army is the forward unit that fought in the first battle. It’s hard to believe the Shriden King is accompanying them…”  

I was convinced by Dietrich-sama’s explanation. After all, it wouldn’t make sense for that bastard king to venture into a highly uncertain first battle.  

If that’s the case, then it indicates that Kouya or Arata must have considerable influence.  

“Regardless, our course of action remains unchanged. I apologize to you all, but could you go ahead with Dietrich to Granzawall?”  

“We don’t mind, but why is Dietrich-sama also going?”  

“Yes. I’m concerned about the progress of Leyreina’s work. So if the improvements aren’t completed in time, I’ll have Dietrich help as well.”  

“…Ah!”  

Oh no, this is really bad!  

“It might not be ready yet. I didn’t Appraise the improvements on the teleportation magic circle when we left Granzawall.”  

“Is that so?”  

“Y-Yes. I didn’t think it would become this urgent, so I was planning to do it after we returned…”  

I hope the Erudite skill will somehow handle it… No, that’s probably too much to hope for.  

“If that’s the case, we really must have you all return first.”  

“I’ll inform our escorts about this!”  

“Thank you, Alicia.”  

Alicia dashed out of the room towards the escorts, the Sturdy Shield, that were accompanying us.  

…Those guys were really enjoying the royal capital. I bet they didn’t expect to leave suddenly like this.  

“We should head out too. Mihiro-sama, Kondō-sama.”  

“Yeah, let’s go, Maki!”  

“Got it. But first, I need to check with you, Yuria.”  

“…W-What is it?”  

I had heard that the knight commander had granted permission. However, what about Yuria’s mental state?  

Depending on her answer, I was prepared to sacrifice my own peace of mind and leave her behind.  

“Are you prepared to fight your classmates? Are you prepared to kill?”  

This was the same question His Majesty had asked at the start.  

Without this resolve, we would only end up dying in vain.  

“…I’m prepared to fight, and I’m prepared to kill.”  

“…Is that true?”  

“Yeah. I’ll beat them to death.”  

“…Sorry, but I can’t allow that.”  

I could only imagine gruesome scenes.  

“…I’m joking. But I am serious about being prepared. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to face the knights who trained me.”  

“…I see.”  

Seeing Yuria state her resolve with her earnest eyes, I judged that there was no mistake about it.  

“…Let’s go. Yuria, Dietrich-sama!”  

“Of course!”  

“Then, we’ll take our leave, Your Majesty.”  

“Yeah. Be careful.”  

Leaving the royal castle behind, we regrouped with Alicia and the Sturdy Shield, and we set out from Angrissa.
