Episode 91: A Life in Another World that is Far from Free 29
— …Hmm… huh?
“…Hmm. Where am I?”
As I woke up, I found myself staring at an unfamiliar, pure white, beautiful ceiling. When I tried to sit up by pushing myself with my arms, the surface beneath me sank deeply. It seemed I had been laid down on an incredibly soft bed.
“Ugh… Oh, that’s right. I used up all my mana, didn’t I?”
Even with 640 Magic stats, I still ran out. Just how much does it take to acquire the skills?
But that doesn’t mean there wasn’t anything to gain.
“I wonder how long I’ve been asleep?”
As I pondered that, the door to the room I was in opened.
“Oh? You’re awake.”
“Dietrich-sama? Wait, could this be…!”
“Yes, this is my room.”
“I-I-I-I’m so sorry! I’ll leave right away!”
I never imagined I would wake up in Chancellor-sama’s room, let alone on his bed! Panicking, I tried to get out of bed—
“Huh? What?”
“Careful now.”
Dietrich-sama, who had just set down a water pitcher and a glass on the table, quickly grabbed my arm and supported me.
…Wasn’t that a bit too fast, even if I was wobbling?
“I-I’m sorry, Dietrich-sama.”
“Think nothing of it. You should rest; it was us who pushed you too hard.”
“…Thank you. But at least let me rest on the sofa!”
“Understood.”
Though Dietrich-sama was peering at me worriedly, he finally gave a small, wry smile and lent me his shoulder. He helped me to the sofa and placed a glass of water in front of me.
“Your throat must be dry.”
“Thank you. Um, what about Alicia?”
The only one here was Dietrich-sama, which made sense since this was his room. But I wanted to check on Alicia’s safety and whereabouts first.
“Alisha-sama went to see Kondō-sama. I told her she could stay until you woke up, but she politely declined.”
Well, that makes sense. After all, we’re talking about Chancellor-sama’s private room.
“By the way, Mihiro-sama…”
“What is it?”
Suddenly, Dietrich-sama straightened his posture, and I was shocked when he bowed his head.
“W-wait, Dietrich-sama?!”
“I sincerely apologize for putting you in danger due to our rash actions!”
“No, no! This was my role, and I expected this outcome. So please don’t worry about it!”
When I hastily told him to raise his head, Dietrich-sama looked at me with a guilty expression.
“Besides, at first, I was planning to test things with even less Magic stats, you know? Can you imagine how many times I would’ve collapsed from magic depletion if I did that? So in a way, being able to test everything at once with a large amount of mana actually worked out in my favor.”
“…Really, you are too kind. Thank you.”
He’s such a good person. He’s still young. Yet he’s so considerate, even towards someone like me, an otherworlder. He’s been kind to Yuria. And despite his high status, he’s always treated Alicia with great respect.
…If it’s him, I think I can open up.
“Oh, Dietrich-sama. About the skill acquisition method…”
“Yes, we should focus on raising your level first, even if it takes time—”
“No, that’s not it.”
“Hm? What do you mean?”
“I’ve figured out part of it—the method to acquire skills.”
“…What?”
Well, that reaction is understandable. Something we thought had failed actually worked, at least in part.
“Is… is that true, Mihiro-sama?!”
“Yes, it is. So, could you calm down a little?”
“Hah! …M-my apologies.”
Seeing the usually composed Dietrich-sama lean forward, eager for confirmation, was surprising even to me.
“Should I explain it here? Or should we wait and tell His Majesty as well?”
“…You’re right. Let’s include His Majesty in the discussion. But are you well enough for that?”
“I’m fine. It’s better to do this sooner rather than later.”
“Understood. I will escort you to the room we initially showed you. I’ll also send word to Alicia-sama.”
After sending a messenger ahead, Dietrich-sama and I began our move.
…Well, I’ve only figured out part of the skill acquisition method. So I wonder just how useful it will be.
I suppose I’ll leave the decision to His Majesty.
